The House Schulte-Witten in Dortmund district Dorstfeld is a 1880-built mansion .

In the years 1913–1915, the building was extensively expanded in the neo-baroque and neoclassical style on behalf of Erich Schulte-Witten by the architects Gröpler, Feldmann and Müller .

Archaeological finds show a front building at the same location, which can be dated to the Thirty Years War . The Schulte-Witten family can be traced back to 1394. She owned extensive land in the Dorstfeld district, which she sold to mining companies in the course of the emerging industrialization. (see also Zeche Dorstfeld ) .

The Schulte-Witten house now belongs to the city of Dortmund and is used as a district library and for so-called ambience weddings. In addition, the Society for Christian-Jewish Cooperation Dortmund had its seat there for many years. The house is registered as a monument in the list of monuments of the city of Dortmund .

An electronic carillon was installed in the clock tower of the house in the summer of 1989 , which sounds daily at 10:05, 12:05, 15:05 and 19:05. The carillon was donated by the Dorstfelder Förderverein and was inaugurated on August 12 of the same year. The carillon was originally intended to remind of mining in Dorstfeld with the Steigerlied . In the early 2000s, the carillon was renovated and the repertoire with the folk song When all the little spring flow and with the viertelstündlich sounding 9-18 indicator Westminster chime expanded. The carillon includes twelve bells.

There is a park behind the house, and the former farm and pension building (now used as a commercial building) adjoins Wittener Straße .

Opposite the Schulte-Witten-Haus is a memorial sculpture that commemorates the Dorstfeld synagogue that was desecrated and demolished in 1938.
