Sevinghausen house
House Sevinghausen was a noble residence in Bochum 's Wattenscheid district . The Sevinghausen district is named after him. The first lords of Sevinghausen were mentioned as early as 1322. In 1832 it was still one of the manors eligible for the state assembly in the province of Westphalia . It was owned by a number of noble families. In 1682 a woman from Wenge lived here, around 1800 Clemens August von Geismar and his wife Bernardina von Berswort lived here .
The Lords of Sevinghausen or Sevinkhausen had three horse prams in their coat of arms. This symbol indicated that they were authorized to use the Emscherbruch wilderness to breed wild Emscherbruch horses.
Today the estate is managed by a farmer. It can be found about 600 m west of Burgstrasse.
According to legend, a knight once coveted the beautiful young woman of a farmer. She fled with a lantern through the cold, damp November night, but he caught up with her and shot her. Her husband killed the knight with an ax. Since then, a ghost with a lantern has occasionally haunted the fields at night.
