House Hohenover
Haus Hohenover was once a moated castle and knight's seat and is now a mansion on the Ahse in the Hammer district of Norddinker , district of Hamm-Uentrop . The name Hohenover probably means high bank . Hohenover is one of nine manors of the parish of Dinker, which were mentioned as early as the 13th century.
Structural condition
Of what was once a much larger property, only the manor house remains today. It is a two-storey brick building with corner pilasters made of the same material and with a pan-covered hip roof over a wooden cornice in a simple structural design. The sliding windows in transom glazing have, in addition to a arched finish, wooden block frames and are provided with shutters. Some of them have been changed or walled up. On the stair landing in front of the courtyard facade there is a wrought-iron grille on which the letters ZHB can be seen, above it a crown and the now rather damaged year 1783. Above the front door you can find the coat of arms of the zur Heiden family, the three heather flowers and the inscription Quieti dedicatum MDCCLXXXI shows.
history
There are some indications that Hohenover was handed over to a well-deserved Saxon or Franconian from confiscated royal land as a fief during the Carolingian era . The first owner known by name in the 14th century comes from the von Galen family . This is Henrich von Galen (born around 1370). The property remained in the hands of this family for a long time. Tonies von Galen , who died in 1487, was also the owner of the manor house. His descendants can be traced back to Hohenover for five generations. Finally, at the end of the 16th century, Balthasar von Galen took over the estate. It was already heavily in debt, so that after Balthasar's death in 1634 it was seized by the creditors. Balthasar's son Johann Dietrich von Galen sold his inheritance in 1667 to Franz von Bodelschwingh , colonel and commander of Hamm.
His widow and daughter sold Hohenover in 1690 for 9,066 thalers to Friedrich Heinrich von Waldheim called Potgießer zu Heidhof and Braam and his wife Anna Christine von Neheim. Both had a daughter, Clara Sibilla, who was married to Johann Wilhelm von Ossenbruch zur Wische. She sold the estate in 1701 for 12,000 thalers to her uncle Johann Caspar von Neheim. His son Johann Adolf had to sell it together with the free Vogelhaus estate in 1745 to avert bankruptcy . This time the acquirer was the Justice Councilor Christian Albert zur Heiden , Mayor of Hamm , who died in 1774 as Herr zu Hohenover.
The zur Heiden built a new mansion on Hohenover and decorated it above the front door with their family coat of arms with the inscription Quieti dedicatum MDCCLXXXI . They also had the wrought iron grating of the stair landing in front of the courtyard facade with the letters ZHB and the year 1783 attached, which heralds the completion of the construction in that year. Even in 1804 the estate was still in the hands of the zur Heiden.
Two decades later, Friedrich Leopold Freiherr von Fürstenberg-Herdringen is documented as the owner. He bought the estate in 1823 from the creditors of the last owner of Devivere and bequeathed it to his son Friedrich Freiherr von Fürstenberg zu Körtlinghausen. His descendant Egon Freiherr von Fürstenberg zu Körtlinghausen sold it on November 28, 1872 to the Blanke / Böning family in Norddinker, who still own it today.
