Leuchtenberg House

House Leuchtenberg (in old sources also Leuchtmar , Luchtmar or similar) is a former medieval Niederungsburg in the Lohausen district of Düsseldorf .

history

House Leuchtenberg was the seat of the Lords of Leuchtmar, a branch of the Lords of Kalkum . One of the earliest representatives of the sex was Dietrich von Leuchtmar , 1358-1364 bailiff of the Angermund office . His descendants held the Leuchtenberg house until at least the 17th century. Then the house was inherited by the married men of Gürtzgen .

At the beginning of the 19th century the house belonged to a company Dr. Zanders & Cie., Then a Brockerhoff. Then Haus Leuchtenberg and Haus Lohausen were acquired by Heinrich Balthasar Lantz . In 1972 the city of Düsseldorf acquired the property from the Lantz family. From the house lights mountain near the Rheindeich (now lights Hof, The Green Trail 80, 40474 Dusseldorf) and its former Vorwerk , the Nagelshof (Nagelsweg 120, 40474 Dusseldorf), considerable parts are preserved. The building dates from the 14th, 17th and 19th centuries.

The Leuchtenberger Hof has been registered as an architectural monument since February 6, 1985.

Leuchtenberg is used today as an agricultural enterprise.
