House Laake

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Haus Laake (also: Haus Lake) was a seat of the von Hövel family in today's Hammer district of Hamm-Bockum-Hövel ( Bockum district ). In 1980 the property was demolished and a garbage dump built over it.

location

Around 1190, the area around the noble house of Laake belonged to the Hövel county estate . At that time Arnold von Altena was the incumbent Count of Hövel and Nienbrügge .

It is believed that the Laake house was located about 750 meters to the southwest of the Nienbrügger castle complex, opposite the vanished Torksburg on the southern side of the Lippe , the Nordherringen house . This place suggests itself as a location, because around 1925 the geometer Arthur Schauerte found charred remains of wood and a fully preserved skeleton with sword and stirrup. This is now in the museum in Berlin. House Laake was thus in the Lippetal, about 1/2 km southwest of shaft IV of the Radbod colliery near the Wittekind block.

According to an old hallway drawing, which the local home keeper Willi E. Schroeder was able to bring into his possession and which is currently probably in the hands of the current local home keeper, House Laake was on an island around which the Laake stream flowed - a feeder stream to the Lippe, which no longer exists today, but back then fed the house. Perhaps Lake is also referring to the backwater of the Lippe (water puddle) south of the house. Joseph Kumann, from 1797 to 1836 of the St. Stephanusgemeinde in Bockum, wrote, according to a message from 1886, "that when the lip protruded strongly, the house lay like an island in the water, so that people could only leave it by means of a boat" .

The Kondermann farms in Ahlen and Schäpers zu Nordick (Nordiek) and the Gerwenskotten on the Düvelsbecke in the parish of Ascheberg - Herbern also belonged to the fiefdom of the House of Laake .

history

House Laake must be much older than is commonly assumed, because it was inhabited by the Knights de Hüvele (not to be confused with the Count de Huvili ). The dynasty de Hüvele had its origins in the de Hüvele, who were enfeoffed with the Hövel castle around 1145 . However, the exact date of foundation cannot be determined.

Around 1420 a Gödeke v. Hövel from the family of Goswin de Hüvele at Haus Geinegge have been enfeoffed with Haus Laake. He then called himself Lakemann or tor Lake ; the nickname is proven from 1440. His son was named Hermann.

In the course of the 15th century, the von Hövel zu Laake family seems to have got into economic difficulties, as was the fate of many knight families at that time, because they sold their farms and lands piece by piece. In the church book of Herbern it is mentioned around the year 1458 that Hermann de Hüvele zu Laake and his wife Greite pledged the Schäpers Hove in Nordiek to Hinrich Poek. In the meantime, the de Hüvele to Laake family must have acquired ownership of the Laake house and the goods mentioned above - in 1474 Hermann de Hüvele to Laake sold the goods mentioned in Herbern to Gert von der Reck zu Heessen .

In 1460 it is recorded in a document that Hermann de Hüvele to Laake sold Wiesen in Grafenmersch to Mr. zu Ascheberg . In 1490, it is also noted in the parish book of Hövel that Dyrik de Hüvele to Laake and his wife Anne waived the resale of a meadow that their parents had sold to the parish council in Hövel. Signed as witnesses: Dirk von Hüvele zu Geinegge, Schulte Johann Schwederings and Schulte Hinrich to Weylinks.

After almost two generations of the de Hüvele to Laake family lived at Haus Laake, the family must have gone downhill. Economic difficulties were the fate of many a knightly family at that time. The sons of Dyrik de Hüvele to Laake, Hermann and Gert de Hüvele, had to sell land from Haus Laake to Johann von Deipenbrock from Werne ; Little by little their lands were lost. Already in 1503 these sons had to leave the Laake house, and Rötger von Deipenbrock (also: Diepenbrock) moved into the property. The von Deipenbrocks wore two crossed swords in the red field as their coat of arms. In 1522/23 Rötger von Deipenbrock acquired the large manor of Westerwinkel Castle from the Count of Limburg as a fief, which Count Arnold von Altena had already owned in 1190. During this time, Haus Laake was only used as arable land.

Over time, the aristocracy had become so different that the Laake farm estate came into the hands of Rötger von Deipenbrock's son-in-law, Burchard von Westerholt zu Alst, in 1561 (Westerwinkel went to Hermann von Merveldt at the same time). His granddaughter Sophie then married into the line of Bernhard Hackfurt von Westerholt zu Lembeck and brought the property into the marriage as the heiress of Alst and Laake. With the acquisition of Lembeck in 1631, Bernhard Hackfurt von Westerholt founded the younger line from Westerholt zu Lembeck, which died out in 1702 with Dietrich Adolf in the male line. Five of his six daughters then received the entire inheritance. Bernhardine Alexandrine von Westholt, on the other hand, was resigned to the overall inheritance. She married Count Ferdinand von Plettenberg zu Nordkirchen . He bought the farmhouse Laake in 1734 for 15,000 thalers from the inheritance.

Around 1833, Haus Laake came into his possession through the marriage of the Austrian Count of Esterhazy Galantha . The entire property of Nordkirchen, to which Haus Laake belonged, was acquired by the Duke of Arenberg at the turn of the century . From this in turn, after the Radbod colliery went into operation, the Trier mining company, whose successor company is RAG Aktiengesellschaft , bought the Laake company. This in turn sold it to the city of Hamm , which had the remains of the property, which had been used as a farmstead, demolished and built over with a landfill.

The estate, which has been leased since the 1920s, was one of the knights' seats of the former Münster monastery that were eligible for the state assembly.

State of preservation

Nothing is left of the Laake house. It was demolished and built over with the municipal waste dump on the street Am Lausbach .
