The Spiegelhof is a historical manor in the Warburg district of Germete , Am Schützenhof 3. The manor house, built in 1854 , is entered as a monument in the list of monuments.
history
In the Middle Ages the farm was owned by the von Spiegel family .
In 1464, at the beginning of the Hesse-Paderborn feud , the squire Gerd Spiegel to dem Dezenberge bequeathed the Dominican monastery in Warburg an annual tax of 3.5 Malter tax "from the Spiegelschen Hof free from all encumbrances" in Germete in exchange for an annual memoria . Tyle Vysscher (Tile Fischer) was the owner of the farm liable for taxes . In 1644 the dues to the monastery were confirmed again and referred to as toes .
In 1685 the farm was owned by the Blome family . In 1753 the court heiress Gertrud Blome married the farmer Johannes Christian Kleffmann . Her grandson and court heir Johannes Kleffmann took part in Napoleon's Russian campaign in 1812 and did not return. He is said to have died in the Battle of the Berezina in November 1812 .
His sister Anna Maria Kleffmann then married the farmer Johannes Heinrich Nolte from Dössel in 1814 , who also took over the farm. In 1847 their son and court heir Anton Nolte the Elder married. the daughter of the landowner, Sophia Maria Berndes , who also came from Germete , increased the property to around 1000 acres and from then on referred to herself as the landowner . In the years that followed, the couple had the old farmhouse demolished and replaced it in 1854 with the large half-timbered house that still existed. After the early death of his wife in 1895, her son Theodor Nolte gradually gave up farming and leased the land. From 1903 he supported the rebuilding of the Warburg Dominican monastery by resuming the medieval tradition by delivering limestone stones from his quarry. His son Anton Nolte Younger was ENT specialist in Warburg , his daughter Sophie later married to the school Marianum teaching teacher Josef Nostitz . On October 13, 1933, Theodor Nolte divided the farm , deliberately disregarding the Reichserbhofgesetz (Reichserbhofgesetz) enacted two weeks earlier, and transferred the building with the garden and some fields to his granddaughter Maria Nostitz and most of the land to his son Anton. After her mother's death in 1962, Maria Nostitz sold her stake, emigrated to England and bought a house in Exeter , Devon .
The later Meißen bishop Petrus Legge and his brothers Theodor and Stephan , sons of Theodor Nolte's sister Maria, who was married in Brakel , lived for a few years after 1900 on the Spiegelhof in order to attend the high school Marianum from there.
building
The two-storey, elongated half-timbered house is still one of the largest houses in the village with a length of over 30 m. It is still in the tradition of the unit house, where living and business are combined under one roof. In contrast to the traditional Low German hall house , however, under Central German influence, the living and business areas are clearly separated: The business section includes two high, drivable delts , the gates of which lead to the courtyard. Through them, the stables, ancillary rooms and the storage areas under the large mansard roof are accessed from the inside. The residential part has its own entrance in the classical style and is oriented with a house garden to the edge of the village with an unobstructed view of the landscape. It is a rare type of "double lateral dome house". The bar inscription is located above the central courtyard gate:
"IHS ANTON.NOLTE and SOPHIA.BERNDES. MARRIAGES BUILT.WITH.GOD.THIS.HOUSE the 24th JUNY 1854"
