House Hohenholz (also Hohenholtz or Hoegenholtz ) is a medieval manor surrounded by tall elms, free aristocratic manor near Bedburg in the Rhein-Erft district , d. H. in the former Kaster office , south of the old town of Alt-Königshoven, which was destroyed by the Garzweiler II open- cast lignite mine .
Naming
The farm bears the name of the noble family von Holz, who formerly lived there and later in Königshoven, and originally belonged to the Heinsberger Hof in Harff.
history
In 1365 the Lords of Heinsberg sold the Hohenholtz farm along with many other goods to the knight Johann von Harff. His descendant Johann von Harff and his wife Jutta von Wevelinghoven sold it in 1430 to Gotthard von Harff, who lived in Haus Harff. When Margarethe, daughter and heiress of Knight Arnold von Harff and his wife Maria von Bongert, died in 1522, an inheritance dispute broke out, which the von Buer , who had married into the Merode zu Frankenberg family, won over Hohenholz. Hohenholz was owned by the von Buer family from 1541 to 1735 at the latest. 1556 compared the von Buer with the still living mother of Margarethe von Harff, according to which both should inherit half. In 1639 Hohenholz was raised to a knight seat eligible for state parliament. Duke Wolfgang Wilhelm confirmed this again in 1643.
In 1690, 300 acres of land, 14 acres of Benden and Baumgarten belonged to Haus Hohenholz, and in 1860 even 317 acres of land with 962 thalers net income.
Later owners were the Waldbott von Bassenheim , Waldbott-Bornheim, Dackweiler, Ritz, Schunck families , Neuhof from 1815 and later the Hambloch family, who were related to them. The portal of the modern manor house is still provided with the initials HH - FN and the year 1884. The initials stand for Heinrich Hambloch and Franziska Neuhof . After the death of the last descendant of the Hambloch family, Gut Hohenholz went to the Catholic Church in Bedburg Kaster. Hohenholz later sold this to private individuals. An event and conference hotel has been operated on Hohenholz since 2009.
