House Tervoort
Haus Tervoort , also known as "Schloss Tervoort" or "Haus ter Voorth", is a former manor in Rheinkamp, a district of Moers . The court complex, presumably a moated castle at times, dates from the 12th century and was first mentioned in a document in 1443 as a manor. After a bomb hit the main building in World War II and a fire in 2004, only 3 outbuildings of the original property are currently in use and otherwise there are only ruins.
location
In the Middle Ages, the manor was located on the even more water-bearing Moersbach , which at that time flowed into an old bed of the Rhine. The name "ter Voorth" means "zur / an der Furth" and was important for the local traffic from Moers to the north at the time. The ruins of the complex are on Tervoorter Waldweg 61, which branches off from “Repelener Straße” (L399). Until the beginning of the second Prussian phase for the county of Moers, the estate belonged to the parish and judicial district of Moers. From the 18th century the mayor's office Repelen was responsible for Tervoort. It is currently located in the southwest of Utfort in the area of the borders with the Moers residential areas Moers-Mitte and Hülsdonk .
history
The manor Tervoort was a "common cölnisch fief" and thus a fief was entitled to inherit in which only the male line. From the Middle Ages and the development of the County of Moers , it was often re-awarded as a fiefdom by the respective reigning ruling house in the county to the then reigning Droste of the county after the current feudal family died out .
In the middle of the 15th century the estate belonged to the brothers Hinrich and Ysbrandt from the "von Merwich" family. They pledged the manor to "Friedrich von Pelden". Thereupon, on October 11, 1464, Count Vincenz von Moers gave the estate to Friedrich von Pelden, known as Cloudt, as a fief. The pledge was redeemed by "Ysbrandt", whereupon on March 4, 1472 the Merwich family again became fief takers through Count Vincenz. It followed
- 1478 Scholt von Mervich and
- 1494 Melchior von Mervich as landlord.
After that, the fiefs for the manor changed more frequently, some of which were the Droste of the county of Moers at the time of the fief transfer. So received
- 1534 Elbert von Wrede owned the estate of Count Wilhelm II von Neuenahr and
- 1563 his nephew Caspar Lappe.
- In 1600, Countess Walpurgis von Neuenahr and Mörs handed over to Moritz von Oranien , whom she had appointed as her heir, and who handed them over
- 1600 the estate to Jost Wirich von Pelden called Cloudt, whereby this family became fiefs again. Jost Wirich von Pelden was appointed Drost of the County of Moers by Moritz von Oranien from 1600 . It followed on
- June 30, 1613 Alexander von Michel, who was married to Magdalena von Cloudt. From
- July 18, 1619, the Kinsky family with "Borchart Kinsky Freiherr von Tettau", who at that time was Drost of the County of Moers, became a fief. After the Orange was
- In 1702 the fiefdom of Wilhelm von Kinsky was confirmed by the Prussian King Friedrich Wilhelm I. This renewed and expanded the buildings of the estate and expanded the main building like a castle. Two farm buildings were attached to the right and left of the main house. Some cattle sheds, barns and a blacksmith's shop were also part of the overall complex. It follows from this family
- 1707 the son Franz Friedrich von Kinsky, the later district president of Moers, under whom the Moerser Landtag met in the main building on September 14, 1718.
- In 1760 his son Reinhard von Kinsky became a new fief. Since the financial situation of the Kinskys had deteriorated significantly at the end of the 17th century, after Reinhard's death in 1791 the "widow" took over the estate on
- Sold on July 1, 1793 to Carl Freiherr von Raesfeldt. This sold it to the industrialist Max Haniel, who owned the manor
- In 1889 to his eldest daughter Caroline (1840–1912) and her husband Louis Liebrecht (1834–1900), whose descendants still own it today. The current owner of the property is Countess Marie del Carmen von Liebrecht.
use
The property was used as an agricultural estate and mansion for the respective owner. There is no documentary evidence of whether the site also served to secure the Furth in the beginning. From the history of the property it can be seen that the owners used the property more often for financial security. In addition to the pledging by the first "von Merwichs", a loan of 1,500 thaler by Borchard von Kinsky is documented in 1630.
The size of the associated property was subject to strong fluctuations due to the purchase and sale of parts of the property. For example, it is documented that in the 18th century the associated area was at times only 26 acres. At this point in time, the property was no longer a manor, as the minimum size that was specified for a manor in Prussia was significantly below. After that, the property was obviously enlarged again through the purchase of land. Since around 1835 only 10 residents lived in the entire complex according to a municipal survey, agricultural use among the Raesfelds does not seem to have been extensive at that time either. However, parts of the land used for agriculture were leased at the time.
According to an entry in the manor registry, King Friedrich Wilhelm III. under Carl von Raesfeldt the fiefdom was raised again to a manor on September 16, 1837. This classification as a manor was canceled on December 31, 1854. As a result, the authorization for the owner of a manor to participate as a member of the “Prussian District and State Parliaments” without voting was lost.
With the support of the Liebrecht family, the new "Bethanien Foundation" set up an infirmary in some rooms on the property in 1856. The care of the sick was taken over by two deaconesses from Kaiserswerth. After three years and the completion of the Bethanien Hospital , this ward moved to the first building erected on what was then Ostring - currently Klever Straße - in Moers.
After the end of the Second World War , due to the complete destruction of the main building, it was only possible to use the adjacent farm wing, cattle sheds and forge. In 1996 the last right wing of the economy was no longer used. In the now unused right-hand part of the building, there was a fire on September 23, 2004, probably caused by young people setting fire to it, which accelerated the destruction of this part of the building as well.
Nevertheless, three former outbuildings, including the former forge, are currently still in use. The motor club “Globetrotter Homeless e. V. “built a club house with an additional open-air party area, which has been used regularly for members' meetings since then, using the existing outer walls of an outbuilding.
As part of the Ruhr 2010 Capital of Culture, the end of the “Magical-Mystery-Ruhr-Tour” took place in the ruins area on September 19, as “Schloss Tervoort” has been a haunted castle for mystery fans for years.
