House Kallenberg
Haus Kallenberg is a former manor house and today's farm on Kallenberger Weg in the Kirchende district of Herdecke . Further to the east there is a hereditary burial place and a cemetery. The Ender Mühlenbach flows south.
A shopping center was built in 2005 on the pasture area formerly belonging to the farm north of the wooded hill of the same name, Kallenberg (198 m above sea level).
The lords of Vaerst zu Callenberg already sat on this knight's seat at the beginning of the 15th century . Her coat of arms shows a shield with twelve red and gold stands, a blue central shield and on the helmet a golden and a red palm branch or two green branches with berries. Around 1400 Hermann was led by the Vorste as a tenant of Haus Heven in Bochum. In the Protestant church of Kirchende there is the grave slab of Hermann von dem Varst from 1549. Today it is in the tower room of the church.
Around 1774 the family bought themselves free from the feudal lordship of Werden Abbey .
Friedrich Goswin Freiherr von Vaerst zum Callenberg acquired the Weitmar and Bärendorf houses in 1774 in what is now Bochum's urban area.
