history
The Ehrenzell court, for which the old spellings Erincsele, Brintsel and Erensele can also be found, was donated to the spiritual convent in Essen in 966 by Emperor Otto I. Since then he has belonged to the Essen women's monastery . In the 17th and 18th centuries, its location often led to border disputes between the city and the Essen monastery, so that the cemetery piles were located directly at the court according to a reverse (declaration of commitment) in 1611.

However, no courtyard building had existed since the middle of the 17th century. The so-called Philipsburg , a cottage with a garden and three and a half acres of land, was located on the solstice of the Oberhof . After a survey on February 26, 1688, the first lease was given to the master Overrath, who was also allowed to pursue his carving trade. After a petition, a new lease took place in 1697, as he had the building erected at his own expense with wood provided by the women's monastery.
In the years 1710 and 1722 it was leased to Johanjacket and his wife and in 1749 to Philipp Thael and Sophia Sunter. The widow Thaels received a seven-year lease on the Philipsburg in 1768. The married couple Johan Thal and Anna Elisabeth Stratmann received a lifelong profit from the Kotten on May 6, 1775. In 1819 their son Johann Thal jun.

After his widow Johann Ruhmann married, he replaced the ground rent on July 22, 1850 and became the owner of the Ehrenzeller Kotten, which had nothing to do legally with the Oberhof Ehrenzell. The Krupp company finally acquired it in 1865. After that, part of the Krupp cast steel factory expanded over the site .
