Pedigree of Franz Voetz

The house at Ritterstrasse 10 / Ursulinengasse 3a in Düsseldorf was built around 1675. It is an example of the “palace architecture of the Jan Wellem era” in Düsseldorf.

history

In the second half of the 17th century, today's Ritterstraße was located in the area of ​​the ramparts of the old city fortifications and was not yet built on. Jan Wellem's father , Elector Philipp Wilhelm , allowed buildings to be erected there for a city expansion . At the end of November 1673, his Life Guard Colonel Freiherr von Kolff was the first to receive a plot of land for the construction of a house by decree. Baron von Kolff transferred this building permit to the government councilor Melchior Voetz in March 1674. But since he died in March 1675, the building permit for Ritterstraße 10 was used by his cousin Chamberlain Nicolaus Voetz to build the building.

The house later came into the possession of the Ferrier family, and through marriage to a native Ferrier, it became the property of the liqueur manufacturer and wine merchant Theodor Maas at the end of the 19th century.

    “The corner house No. 10 was built by the electoral court chamber councilor Nicolaus Voetz during his marriage to Maria Katharina Schorner. The Elector Philipp Wilhelm had already resigned on December 13, 1673 in favor of the Vice Chancellor Melchior Voetz: 'Demnach
    Se. The High Princely Highness graciously resolved to have a number of houses built behind the Kreuzbrüdern am Wall for expansion and decoration of the residential city of Dusseldorf, so your High Princely Highness the secret and government councilor Melchior Voetz, the Right Licentiate, at his submissive request, have a free space, if Build others there, he should then also make a start, approve, graciously ordering the accounting chamber to do the ordinance, that thought Voetzen sothanen graciously approved space should be measured and assigned. '
    An identical order of November 29, 1673 was addressed to the Life Guard Colonel Freiherr von Kolff, who on March 28, 1674 transferred this vacant building site to the secret government councilor Melchior Voetz. Voetz died in the following year on March 8th in his 57th year of life, he found his resting place in the collegiate church, now Lambertus Church, where a plaque with his coat of arms and epitaph in the left aisle on the great legal scholar and counselor of two dukes remind. He had not been able to make use of the building permit; his cousin, the electoral chamber councilor Nicolaus Voetz, stood up for him and had the house built. Above the arch of the entrance gate are the coats of arms of the builder and his wife. Wilhelm Schloesseren's eldest daughter, Theresia Schloesseren, married the councilor Georg Peter Andreas Hagens in 1741. They successfully challenged the transfer of the house to the Councilor von Kesserler, which took place in 1739 by the children of Nicolaus Voetz, with success; the widow Hagens sold it on December 16, 1752 to Ambrosius Franz Count von Spee zu Heltorf for 10,000 Rthlr. - In 1792 the house was leased by Baroness von Lerodt, born Freiin von Bentink, who stayed there until 1797. The rear building leading to Ursulinergasse was leased by Privy Councilor Jeger in 1797 and in 1802 Friedrich Collenbach moved into his trading house under the company Gebrüder Clef u. Co. He paid 305 Rthlr per year in lease. The house was later bought by the Ferrier family; it is now the property of widow Theodor Maas, to whom it had come through her father. It should also be noted that the widow of the court councilor of Lesecque, also the advocat von Hagens, father of the painter von Hagens, who was still alive, lived here for a time. "
