Groß-Winkelhausen (also Sonnenhof according to the current owners ) is a medieval knight's seat on the northern outskirts of Düsseldorf in the Düsseldorf-Angermund am Angerbach district .
Naming
The name comes from the position of the property at an angle , i.e. H. a curve, the Anger. The noble family of the Lords of Winkelhausen is named after the knight's seat.
history
The knight's seat is first mentioned in the 12th century. In 1271 a Johann de Zeppenheim is named as the lord of Winkelhausen. Its seal shows a tar torch iron. In 1288 and 1290 Ludolf de Winkelhausen appeared as the owner of the knight's seat. In 1456 the knight Hermann von Winkelhausen lived on the castle grounds. He had two sons, Ludger and Johann, the former owner of Winkelhausen in 1486. Ludger also inherited Kalkum Castle and relocated the family headquarters there, so that Kalkum Castle was temporarily also called Winkelhausen House. In 1634 a Johann Wilhelm Freiherr von Winkelhausen appears as the owner of Winkelhausen. He was a bailiff in Düsseldorf.
In 1651 the Brandenburgers undertook a foray to Winkelhausen during the war against Louis XIV of France . The fixed house in Groß-Winkelhausen was badly damaged.
When Johann Wilhelm von Winkelhausen died in 1667, his daughter Johanna Maria Theresia inherited the house and the goods belonging to it, including the sand mill and the oil mill . In 1655 she married Arnold Freiherr von Wachtendonk, who moved to Groß-Winkelhausen after the death of his father-in-law.
In the battles of 1689 and 1690 Winkelhausen received a crew of 70 horsemen and 100 foot soldiers. When they left, the castle suffered so badly that the state parliament approved compensation of 600 Reichstalers. The damage caused by the French garrisons in the First Silesian War in 1741 was enormous. They were estimated at 16,481 Reichstalers.
Since the von Winkelhausen family died out in 1734, Groß-Winkelhausen and other goods came to the von Hatzfeld family through the marriage of a niece of Johann Wilhelm . The Sonnen family has managed the estate since 1909, and Karl and Ursula Sonnen since 2002.
The Stroetrecht (from "Stroet" for shrub, bushes, thickets) also belonged to the house until the 19th century. This was about the right to keep wild horses in the forest between Duisburg and Düsseldorf, which apart from the Duke of Berg only had a few noble seats ( Broich , Heltorf , Böckum , Haus zum Haus , Groß-Winkelhausen, Oefte and Landsberg ).
building
Over time, the medieval moated castle, which consisted of a bailey and a manor house, was expanded into a fortress with double moats. The castle was later destroyed by fire. The last fire accidents in 1906 and 1908 also destroyed a large part of the farm buildings. Only the south-western wing of the farm buildings and the main gate from 1668 have been preserved. The alliance coat of arms of the Winkelhausen and Waldbott von Bassenheim families is attached above the gate . It shows the year 1658. The manor house of the medieval complex stood to the north, roughly where the large riding hall is today.
In the immediate vicinity, d. H. at the end of an avenue leading from the portal of the knight's seat is the Hubertus chapel from the 18th century. The Hubertus Chapel also shows the alliance coat of arms of the Lords of Winkelhausen and that of Waldbott-Bassenheim above the portal. A little further to the south-east there is another courtyard complex called Klein-Winkelhausen.
Groß-Winkelhausen originally belonged to the Angermund office , from 1806 to the municipality of Düsseldorf-Wittlaer as part of the Kaiserswerth mayor . Groß-Winkelhausen has been part of the Düsseldorf urban area, Angermund district since 1974.
The courtyard and manor buildings have been protected as a historical monument since November 24, 1983. Since April 10, 1997, the grounds of the estate have also been protected as a ground monument.
Todays use
The knight's seat is used today as a riding school. The last dairy cow was abolished as early as 1967 and the stable buildings were converted for horses. More than 50 horses are housed in the facility.
