history

A Theodoric named Lürwald owned a hoof near Suttrop in 1313 as a fiefdom of the Counts of Arnsberg . Another Theodoric was enfeoffed in 1371 by the Archbishop of Cologne with a castle fief in Kallenhardt . In 1437 three members of the family signed the Hereditary Land Association . They also had a Burgmannslehen in Rüthen . Hönyckhausen owned it as a Paderborn fief from 1366 to 1500.

In 1398 the von Schorlemer family pledged their share in Körtlinghausen to the von Lürwald family. They sold the share to the Rüdenberger , before the von Lürwald in 1447 acquired the property in full, in order to sell it to the von Hanxleden in 1449 . Via the von Westrem , Körtlinghausen came to the von Weichs . The von Lürwald had already sold the castle loan in Kallenhardt to the von Hanxleden in 1448. Half of the property in Suttrop was also sold by von Lürwald to von Hanxleden in 1550. In 1619 there was a dispute over the patronage rights of the church in Suttrop, of which Antonius Lürwald claimed that his ancestors had donated the church. There was a dispute between Johann Adam von Lürwald and the residents of Suttrop in 1653, when they refused to accept a clergyman appointed by Lürwald and barred the church from him. There was a similar conflict again in 1663. They owned Anröchte from 1466 to 1500. From 1630 to 1661 they also owned Gut Bremscheid . Outside the Duchy of Westphalia , members of the Haus Heerfeld family in Liesborn acquired in the 17th century . In 1716 Wilhelm Philipp Ahlhard von Lürwald sold this property to the Abbot of Liesborn . From this it came to the house of Plettenberg .

They had owned the Borg house since 1656, after Joachim Alhard von Luerwald married the heiress Anna Elisabeth von Plettenberg. Joachim Alhard had a son Ferdinand Lürwald from an earlier connection that was probably not of a class. His son Caspar Jodocus Luerwald earned services to the Austrian mining industry and was knighted in 1738 and now called himself Caspar Edler Herr von Luerwald. Borg remained in the family's possession until 1753. After that, the property fell to the Werler family of heirs to the Lilien family . In 1744 Matthias Gerhard von Hoesch acquired the Suttrop owned by von Lürwald to expand his iron and steel works .
