The Junkerhaus in Wellesweiler is the oldest preserved building in the town. The monument is located at Eisenbahnstrasse 18 to 22 and is now used both as a residential building and as an event room.
history
The exact date of construction is unknown. First evidence can be found for 1602, for example a Junker named Johann Quandt von Landscron lived in the house at that time . After the Thirty Years War Wellesweiler was completely destroyed and almost deserted. The Junker is no longer mentioned, but an old woman is said to have still lived in the house. Like the rest of Wellesweiler, the building fell to the County of Saarbrücken . From October 5, 1685, the house was given out as a lease . During the coalition wars , the estate was confiscated by the French government in 1793 and auctioned off in 1805. The house then went into private ownership.
In 1880 a forge was built behind the house , which has also been a monument since 2007. This was operated until the 1930s. The property has belonged to three families since 1805. In 2003 the rear part including the forge was for sale and was bought and renovated by the Wellesweiler Working Group for History, Regional Studies and Folk Culture eV with grants from the Aleksandra Foundation to promote Westrich historical research. Today it is used as a function room for the working group, but it is also rented for events and celebrations.
