history
The client , Johann Barkhausen , had the building erected in 1618 on the Passweg over the Tönsberg opposite the Alexander Church. In the same year he was appointed bailiff and received permission from Count Simon VII of Lippe to open a jug . At the same time he was allowed to trade in linen and thread in the house. Before long, his jug was more busy than in other Oerlinghauser inns due to external users of the Passweg.
After Johann Barkhausen's death in 1636, his son Simon took over the pitcher. He obtained an additional source of income from distilling schnapps and brewing beer. Business was good; in the cattle register of 1652 there are four horses, 19 cows, 20 pigs and 187 sheep. Nevertheless, after his death in 1681, Simon Barkhausen left the heirs with high debts. The house could only remain in the family's possession with the financial support of the Meier Johann Arnold zu Barkhausen. Simon's daughter Anna and her husband Cord Henrich Grote continued to run the pitcher, which was now named Zum alten Vogt in honor of the late builder Johann Barkhausen .
From 1745 there was a new owner, Henrich Ernst Wistinghausen, who arranged for an extension on the east side in the half-timbered style . Years later, another owner named Lübbertsmeier took over the mug and set up a bakery here. At that time the house was popularly known as Langer Gottfried . Business was bad and Lübbertsmeier was finally insolvent, so that the mug had to be auctioned in 1859. With that the concession for the jug had expired.
The new owner was the cigar manufacturer Moses Paradies together with his brother, the merchant Heinemann Paradies . It is said that children were also employed in the company for low wages - a common practice at that time. The house was added to the Schneiderbrink and around 1860 the Jewish community had a mikveh built in the cellar . The immersion bath was used by the Jewish women for ritual body cleansing. There was also a Jewish elementary school in the house until 1892 . The Paradies brothers also had to file for bankruptcy and the house became the property of businessman Friedrich Wiskemann, who supplied the surrounding inns and jugs with alcoholic beverages. Since then the mikveh could no longer be used because beer barrels were stored in the cellar. After that, the house changed hands several times.
Oerlinghauser local history researcher Werner Höltke pointed out that in 2011 a recess in the cellar floor indicated the location of the former mikvah. The house was renovated and rebuilt between 2011 and 2012 and now offers space for eight rental apartments.
