House Koeningen (Werl)
The Koeningen house is a listed secular building in Werl , a town in the Soest district ( North Rhine-Westphalia ).
History and architecture
The house was first mentioned in 1348 as a Cologne fiefdom . On December 1, 1485, the mayor of Werler Wilhelm Papen was enfeoffed by the Count of Tecklenburg with the castle house Koeningen (Koyninck). His wife was Aleke von Lappe . The barons of Plettenberg-Hovestadt bought the feudal lordship in 1691 from Count Klaus von Tecklenburg. Even today the house is owned by the von Papen-Koeningen family . Due to inheritance disputes, the house was also shared and inherited. It was disputed whether it was a man's loan . In 1543 part of the house came to Erasmus Schöler from Sälzer through his wife Katharina von Papen. After a settlement before the Imperial Court of Justice, in 1626 the entire property came into the hands of Bertram von Papen. Dietrich von Eickel married his daughter Anna and then acquired the entire property. Further lawsuits were brought against the women's line in 1683 and 1691, and they ended with a settlement in favor of Wilhelm Albert von Papen. Wilhelm Albert's sons remained unmarried. Goswin Kasper von Papen bequeathed the house to his youngest sister Maria Antonette von Bendit in 1765. Their descendants also died childless and so Koeningen went to Anton Albert von Papen zu Westrich . The Koeningen house remained in the possession of Chancellor Franz von Papen's nephew until 2011 . Until 1938 the house was leased to various tenants when the manor house was vacant. The agriculturally usable areas are currently leased.
