House Rüdinghausen

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The house Rüdinghausen was a castle and an aristocratic seat in the Witten district of Rüdinghausen . The foundation walls of the castle have been preserved as a ground monument . The site is privately owned.

In the 13th century, the castle Rüdinghausen is first mentioned in the Werdener Landmarks. It is likely that the knight's seat had existed for a while and originally belonged to a family "von Witten zu Rüdinghausen". The knights of Witten zu Rüdinghausen were subject to the Count von der Mark and took part with him in the great Dortmund feud . The Dortmunders then moved to the Witten area, destroyed the property there and pillaged the village of Annen .

With the permission of Archbishop Heinrich I of Cologne and the pastor of St. Reinoldi in Dortmund , Gert von Witten zu Rüdinghausen founded a chapel in Rüdinghausen in 1326 and took over the patronage there .

After 1400 there were succession disputes and another feud. As a result, the properties of Haus Rüdinghausen were reduced in size. In 1586, after the Reformation, the house was conquered and burned down by the Spaniards under Colonel La Barlotte.

The house was then rebuilt and had different owners after the Thirty Years War . The last verifiable master of Haus Rüdinghausen was Ludolf von Winsheim. Since the latter remained childless, the Rüdinghausen house fell by will in 1770 to the von Romberg family , who remained owners until 1935.
