Hedhof
The Hedhof (also Hedthof or Heithof ) was an Oberhof in what is now Hemer , Märkischer Kreis . The court was first mentioned in 1072 in a document from the Archbishop of Cologne, Anno II., For the Grafschaft monastery . From the 18th century the property was used for commercial purposes. The last industrial plant was demolished in the 1980s. Today there is a facility for assisted living and some shops there .
The Hedhof was in Oberhemer in the valley of the Hemer brook . The property is now on the Neuer Markt in downtown Hemeran. The main street and the way An der Steinert enclose the area.
history
In addition to Haus Hemer and Brelen , the Hedhof was mentioned in the deed of foundation of the Grafschaft monastery as one of three noble residences in the Hemer area. The name does not appear until later, however, in the document the property is referred to as hademare . During the Soest feud between 1444 and 1448 the structure was badly damaged. In the 16th century there is evidence of noble owners of the Hedhof, but in 1755 the building was largely derelict and was used as a normal residence. At that time there was an oil and saw mill on the property . At the beginning of the 19th century, Friedrich Kleinschmidt moved into the manor house and rebuilt it. In 1810 he also built a paper mill on the property. In bad economic times, production was not profitable, which is why Kleinschmidt moved to Soest. Johann Diedrich von der Becke II acquired the site and ran a paper mill there from 1818.
Between 1848 and 1858, cast steel goods were produced on the Hedhof before the property was leased to the manufacturers Friedrich Clarfeld and Heinrich Springmeyer. The two set up a German silver goods factory under the name "Clarfeld & Springmeyer", which specialized in the production of cutlery . By the beginning of World War I, the number of employees rose to over 500. In the 1920s, the company ran into financial difficulties and in 1931 was converted into "Clarfeld & Co. KG". In the 1970s, the business became unprofitable again, so that production switched to stamped and drawn parts . A few years later the company was closed and the buildings demolished.
In Hemer a street name still reminds of the Hedhof today .
