Hoecker House
The Hoecker House in Długopole Górne (until 1945 Oberlangenau ) in the powiat Kłodzki in the Lower Silesian Voivodeship was part of the former Oberlangenauer Freirichtgut . The academic painter Paul Hoecker lived there from 1901 .
History of the property
The Freirichtergut goes back to the time when the village was settled. The office of free judge was usually transferred to the locators under inheritance law for their entrepreneurial work in the reclamation and settlement of a village.
In 1500 belonged to the upper Langenauer Freirichtergut two free farmsteads, one Kretscham , a water mill , a screen Walke and a bleach and 25 gardeners - and other smallholdings . The Richtergut, which lies next to the church, had two Huben field, some ponds and the right to brew beer . For 1571 Johann Wolf is proven as free judge and thus as owner of the free judge property, for 1644 Christoph Rupprecht.
In 1728 the forester's house was acquired by the canvas wholesaler Josef Männel. As a result, this property, to which the fish justice in the Glatzer Neisse also belonged, was separated from the Freirichtergut. Around 1780 it came to Männel's stepson Johann Hoecker (1724–1784), whose family name was used as a name for the property in the future ( Hoecker house ). He also ran the then successful linen trade, as the mountain valleys of the County of Glatz had been used for flax cultivation since ancient times . Flax cultivation expanded in the 1780s through various legislative measures taken by Frederick the Great . The quality of the bales of fabric was checked by the canvas dealers. Well-made fabrics were stamped, bad ones marked as inferior or even cut up. Around 1850, the canvas trade was discontinued because cheaper products could be obtained through the use of machines. A difficult time began for the Silesian weavers .
1807-1808 the Hoecker house was extended to a length of nine windows. Johann Josef Hoecker's insignia was chiseled over the door.
After 1850
On August 11, 1854, the future academic painter Paul Hoecker was born in the Hoecker House . After graduating from high school in Neustadt , he studied at the Royal Art Academy in Munich , where he was later appointed professor. He modernized the Hoecker house and furnished it with exquisite furnishings. Together with the studio it became an artistic meeting place. Hoecker's popular painting motif was his niece Vally Walter , who took over the property after his death in 1910.
After the death of the painter Paul Hoecker, the studio served various painters as a place of work. There were among others Paul Plontke , A. Wasner, Wilhelm Hartmann, Wilhelmine Melzer and Arthur Kampf , who fled from the war-threatened Berlin.
After 1946
Since Dr. Maria Pompe, whose family owned the Hoecker House and worked as a doctor in Habelschwerdt , was not expelled from the Polish authorities after the Second World War. After the death of her parents, she was allowed to move to West Germany. The Hoecker house is currently used as a grocery store and apartment.
