Kickley House
The Kickley house was built by Otto Hoesch, a member of the Düren industrialist family Hoesch in Rath ( Düren district ) according to plans by Paul Darius and used as a weekend seat. After Otto Hoesch's death in the mid-1960s, the property was put up for sale. At the beginning of the 1970s, Jean Löring , former soccer player, entrepreneur and president of the soccer club SC Fortuna Köln, bought the castle-like house Kickley . The property was used for representative purposes in Löring's time and gained a certain fame due to the numerous prominent guests and events.
The house has a living area of 608 m² and a park of 33,000 m². It was foreclosed in January 2003 after Jean Löring's bankruptcy ; the Düren district court had set the market value at 2.7 million euros and the creditor bank BAG Bankaktiengesellschaft from Hamm was awarded the contract. With the bid, Löring had lost his permanent right of residence, which was secured in the land register; the right of residence, capitalized to 383,000 euros, was also auctioned off by the bank. In 2009, the creditor bank was ready to allow an auction of the property, which had meanwhile been vacant for six years, for a minimum bid of 995,000 euros. Today, after extensive restoration and renovation, it is owned by an entrepreneur from Nideggen.
