House Niedernhofen
Haus Niedernhofen is a former knight's seat near Hengstey (today a village belonging to the city of Hagen ). Long before the Hengsteysee was built, it was on the left bank of the old Ruhr and belonged to Hengstey in the Boele parish in the judicial district of Hagen.
history
The lords of Ovelacker had been a fief of the estate since the 14th century . Lieutenants were the lords of Volmarstein and later the lords of Recke-Volmarstein . The first documentary mention took place in 1543 in connection with the Herdecke Abbey . A map from 1770 shows the manor house as a two-story, hip-roofed building. After a fire in 1857, the house was not rebuilt.
In 1895 the screw manufacturer Wilhelm Funcke III from Hagen bought . the area to build the Niedernhof . In 1919 the Ruhrverband purchased the site from the Funcke family to build the Hengsteysee . The foundation walls of the estate are 150 meters southeast of the Koepchenwerk on the lake bottom.
The former knight's seat should not be confused with Gut Niederhofen in Dortmund.
