House Watereck (also Waterheck , Waterick or Waterhuck ) was a medieval knight's seat , a moated castle , in the Duisburg district of Vierlinden (Watereckstraße 16), district of Duisburg-Walsum .

history

House Watereck was where the Watereckstraße named after the house is today. Like the nearby Hückelhoven house in the neighboring Overbruch district, Watereck house was still provided with defensive towers at the end of the Middle Ages. The moats fed from the Brusbach.

House Watereck was an old fiefdom of the Counts of Kleve . It was a manor in the Duchy of Kleve that was eligible for the Landtag, which means that it was worth at least 6,000 thalers. Like Haus Hückelhoven, Haus Watereck was owned by the Lords of Hiesfeld (also Hystvelt or Hysfelt ) from the 14th to the 16th century . In 1492 Bernhard Hystfelt is mentioned in a document as the owner of Waterheck . By marriage, House Watereck came from the Lords of Hiesfeld to the Lords of Boeningen. Heir's daughter Sandrina von Boeningen married Peter Quadt zum Hafe in 1601 , whereby Watereck came to the Quadts. Owners were among others Heinrich Wilhelm Quadt zu Waterheck, his sons, the brothers Johann Georg von Quad zu Waterheck († 1674, childless) and Peter Adolf von Quad zu Waterheck († 1680), as well as his son. Later the house came to the Hofrat Scholten zu Wesel. At that time the house only had 60 acres.

In 1755 Watereck was acquired by Senator Arnold Huyssen from Essen, who leased it to Wilm Bruckermann, known as Waterick. Around 1875 the Overlöper family took over the property. At that time only a few ruins of the old building remained, today a castle stables .
