history
In 1293 the Lohhof was mentioned under the name curiam Lohof as a Meierhof owned by the Loccum Monastery . At the end of the 14th century, the courtyard was expanded into a castle following an agreement between Count Otto I von Schaumburg and Duke Albrecht of Saxony . It was called a castle ( slot ), but served as a bulwark against the neighboring county of Wunstorf of the Counts of Roden. Count Otto I von Schaumburg and Duke Albrecht von Sachsen jointly bore the construction costs and each owned half of the fortification. The earlier appearance of the castle is not known. It was near the Hellweg , which ran roughly along today's B 65. Further information about the castle, which presumably only existed for a short time, is not known. The system developed in 1600 for the Count of Schaumburg to Vorwerk of the castle town of Hagen and provided Stadthagen with milk. Changing tenants ran the farm. In 1885, the Lohhof was designated as an estate district in the Stadthagen- Hagenburg district office. In 1922, Prince Adolf von Schaumburg transferred the Lohhof, which then traded under the name "Staatliche Meierei Lohhof", to the Free State of Schaumburg-Lippe . In 1928 the Lohhof was incorporated into the municipality of Heuerßen. In 1939 the farm complex was called "Domain Lohhof".
After the Second World War , the Lohhof belonged to the state of Lower Saxony from 1946 onwards , which the previous schaumburg-Lippe owners made annual cash payments for. In 1979 ownership of the farm passed to the Schaumburg district .
The Lohhof has been owned by a tenant family since 1924, whose current representative has been running the farm in the third generation since 1985. Since 1992 the farm has been run as an agricultural operation in the Bioland cultivation association . In 1998, the current leaseholder acquired the Lohhof from the Schaumburg district. The Lohhof operates a farm shop and board horses .
Some of the current buildings in the Lohhof were built in the 16th century. A barn in the Renaissance style , which was probably built during this period, has sturdy masonry that is supported on the sides by massive buttresses.
