history
In the Middle Ages , a noble family called themselves "von Stotzheim". Their castle was a fiefdom of the monastery of St. Mary in the Capitol . In a document from 1223, in which the occupation of the pastoral positions in Efferen and Korschenbroich was determined by the abbess of the monastery , Sophia von Stotzheim, owner of the " castle in Stotzheim", is named as a noble member of the convent . Another document dating from 1280 lists the knights Rigolfus and Lambertus de Stotzheim as witnesses. The exact location of the first Stotzheimer castle complex is unknown, because it probably went under in the 13th century.
The von Stotzheim family disappeared towards the end of the 14th century, and in 1412 the Burggraf von Odenkirchen owned the "Burghof". But he renounced in favor of Dietrich von Uproede, and the court came to Johann von Gymnich . In 1437 the Junker Heinrich von Plettenberg took over the property. At that time it was called "Plettenbergshof".
Through the marriage of Anna von Plettenberg, the property came in 1608 to the electoral Palatine steward Franz von Hammerstein . The change of ownership brought another change of name: The facility was now the "Hammersteinshof". At the beginning of the 17th century, the property changed to the von Schlebusch family. Since that time it has been called "Schlebuschhof". The little castle came from the Schlebuschs to the Stenten family, who sold it to the city of Cologne in 1912 . Today the castle is privately owned.
