history

The Paderborn Bishop Simon I von Lippe , sovereign of the city of Warburg, assigned a court in 1258 to the Cistercian monastery Hardehausen in the Warburg Neustadt, which had been founded only a few decades earlier, “free of all burdens”. The property located between the noble houses in today's Sternstrasse 27 was initially built on with a smaller house with a basement in the rear. In 1281 the bishop gave the monastery a second farm, which they sold to the city of Warburg with his consent. In 1291 - possibly with the proceeds from the sale - the courtyard in Sternstraße was extended to the street to a 45.65 m long, two-story stone house. The street gable was designed as a representative, stone stepped gable with 9 ogival window openings. However, it was accessed from the eaves. The original wooden beam ceilings are still preserved inside.

Already under the Hardehaus Abbot John IV (1304-1331) the house was called "Monnikshof". Under Abbot Hermann II. (1401–1430) the privileges of the court, in particular exemption from municipal guard duty, taxes and court duties, were renewed against payment of 60 marks (= approx. 14.04 kg) silver.

From 1680 to 1693, Abbot Stephan Overgaer (1675–1713) rebuilt the ground floor for residential and office purposes. It got bigger windows and doors in the baroque style . The loading of the grain floors has since been carried out through a newly broken hatch from the street. In 1722 the south wing was renovated as a summer apartment.

After the secularization of Hardehausen Monastery, Anton Josef Alexander Rosenmeyer, third son of the former mayor Balthasar Rosenmeyer , acquired the farm including the eastern barn, which was then called Rosenmeyer'sche Scheune .
