Knight seat Aquak
The knight seat Aquak was one of the oldest knight seats in Bockum-Hövel , today a district of the city of Hamm . It is mentioned in a document around 950. Its exact location is unknown. In older times, "Akwik or Aquak" also seems to have been the name for the northern part of the Hölter farmers.
location
Knight's seat Aquak is one of the oldest knight's seats in the area around Bockum-Hövel . It was mentioned in the first register of the monastery in Werden around 950. Around the year 1000 the knight's seat was known as an independent peasantry under the name '' Asicwyk '' or '' Acwyk '' (also Akwik) and is therefore the oldest place and peasantry name in the region. The name is said to go back to a peasantry that was called Athalheringwik (Athalarichwik).
It is believed that there were three arable estates in this Acwyk peasantry, namely the Knight's Seat Acwyk, the Schulzensitz Acwyk, also called Schult den Ak, and the Frye to Acwyk, the free bank property. The knight's seat is said to have stood where the Wältersmann lease stands today (as of 1980).
Despite extensive excavations, it has not yet been possible to determine where this knight's seat was exactly. The pastor Ignatz Ostenfeld, who lived in Hövel from 1807 to 1834, explains: The Aquak house was in ruins for a long time; the house and the ditches were overgrown with undergrowth until a son of Schulzen Aquack took it on a lease from Count von Merveldt around 1820 and built a house on it . According to Schwieters, this is supposed to be the Harling farm. Oral tradition assumes that the Burgplatz was at the site of the Wisman court.
The farmer Schulze Aquak had nothing in common with the Schulzenhof, because his family only adopted this name around 1890.
history
The above-mentioned farms Frye to Aquak, Schult den Ak and the knight's seat belonged to the county of Hövel around 1005 . By inheritance, the property came into the possession of the Counts of Volmestein via the Counts of Berg, Altena, Isenberg-Nienbrügge and Limburg . The presumed main courtyard (knight's seat) is still owned by the Count of Nordkirchen today , the other two courtyards, which are nearby and belong to the peasantry, have been privately owned since 1869.
The von Bestrats family, who had two half-stacked shields as coats of arms, is said to have lived on the house. Their successors were the Neheim zu Werries.
The following data are known from the earlier farmers:
From 1328 to 1354 Theodor Aquak from the Aquak peasantry is said to have worked as an ex-count for the county of Wilshorst .
In 1346, the knight Gerlach vom Sümmern is said to have been present as a witness when Count Engelbert II von der Mark confirmed the privileges of the city of Hamm . He lived in the knight's seat. Various members of the von Sümmern family worked as witnesses in the Hövel parish until 1445. The knights or lords of Sümmern were a respected family.
Around 1350 the two courtyards dat grote Evesche Hus (Eschhaus) and dat lütke Evesche Hus (Lübbert) were enfeoffed to Gerlach von Sümmern by the prince-bishop in Münster.
From the knight family von Aquack, the squire Heinrich von Aquack is named by name.
Around 1362 there was a priest named Johann von Aquack in the region.
In 1387 Johann to Aquak appeared as a witness.
In 1426 Dietrich to Aquak appeared as a witness.
In 1476 Gert to Aquak appeared as a witness.
In 1523 Frye Johann to Aquak appeared as a witness.
When Dirik von Neheim's family attended the service in the Höveler church on Good Friday in 1545, some dissatisfied servants stormed the house. They set fire to the cattle house, in which there were many cattle and stored a lot of grain, and also took the main house, and looted and set it on fire. They killed four lancers and threw the corpses into the flames.
In 1548 Gert von Galen zu Ermelinghof was enfeoffed with both courts by the Prince-Bishop of Münster.
In the 17th century a werewolf named Peter Kleikamp from Ahlen is said to have been up to mischief here. In 1610 he was arrested. In the farming communities of Nordick and Forsthövel in the parish of Herbern, he had "bitten cattle and sheep to death, etc." In 1615 he was "sentenced in Ahlen to be executed with the legal punishment of life to death and burned to ashes for constant sorcery and poisoning and other misdeeds." Forced by "the pain of torture", he testified that "he learned magic from his wife." A few days later he was burned in Ahlen.
Since 1853 the farms have been owned by the aforementioned farmers.
