history

Meschede-Stockhausen with Gut Stockhausen in the foreground

In 997, the Schultenhof ( curtis maior ) Stockhausen was first mentioned as the center of around 20 courtyards. Emperor Otto III. outlawed the owner Hunold and transferred the farm to the Meschede monastery . According to a legend, Hunold was executed with 20 sons. Only the youngest survived the massacre and later returned to the estate as a lieutenant.

Hans von Stockhausen was the owner of Stockhausen in the 14th century. He was married to Agnes von Spiegel and died in 1375. At that time, the Stockhausen Oberhof was subordinate to 22 farms, a. a. in Mülsborn , Calle , Olpe , Wennemen , Visbeck , Altenhellefeld , Wedinghausen , Westenfeld , Hellefeld and Frenkenhausen .

Arnold von Stockhausen (* around 1380) took over the property in 1400. He is probably identical to an Arnoldus de Stockhusen , who appeared in documents in 1405 and 1411 and was the progenitor of the family. Arnold was judge of the free chair Calle and Villicus of the Stockhausen estate as a fief of the Meschede monastery.

Arnold II von Stockhausen (* around 1410–1474) was also a judge in Calle. In 1451 he married Catharina von Lehnhausen.

Arnold III Schulte zu Stockhausen (* around 1445) was lord of Calle and Stockhausen.

Jodokus Schulte zu Stockhausen (* 1474), his son, was enfeoffed on July 20, 1519 with the Stockhausen estate. In 1519 Hovestadt and Buckmanns Hof were added. Around 1500 he married Bela von Langenohl , with whom he had four sons.

Ludwig I von Stockhausen (* around 1530–1597), the oldest, was Schulte and high court lay judge. He was married to Elisabeth von Plettenberg zu Lenhausen , a granddaughter of Heinrich von Plettenberg zu Lenhausen, called "das Verken", and had seven children with her.

Ludwig II. Von Stockhausen , (* around 1565–1636) was rent master of the Landdrosten of the Duchy of Westphalia Kaspar von Fürstenberg to Bilstein and judge to Olpe, Drolshagen , Wenden , Calle and Remblinghausen . In 1599 he married Elisabeth von Hanxleden in Mülheim / Möhne . In 1603 he was enfeoffed with the Stockhausen estate by Provost Gottfried von Fürstenberg . He died in Arnsberg and left a son.

Ludwig III. von Stockhausen (1600–1672) lived in 1641/70 on the Stockhausen estate, which is still subject to the Meschede monastery. He was the electoral knight at Calle and Remblinghausen and had received larger estates in Remblinghausen through his wife Anna Johanna von Westphalen . In the Thirty Years' War there was great hardship, so that in 1641–1659 he had to sell the farms in Olpe, Frenkhausen, Westenfeld and Calle. Since this took place without the approval of the Meschede Monastery, he was sued and, according to a judgment by the law faculty in Marburg, his descendants had to pay the monastery a fine of 500 Taler.

Friedrich von Stockhausen (* 1607, † around 1690), a cousin of Ludwig III., Acquired the remaining property with 18 vassal courts from Ludwig's widow Anna after his death in 1670. He was married to Catharina Eyckberg in 1632 and had a daughter with her, Elisabeth, who had married Albrecht Gerhard von Bischopinck , Rentmeister and Gograf zu Bilstein from the hereditary family, in 1656. After the lending in 1679, Friedrich had the neglected manor house repaired and u. a. provided with a spiral staircase dated 1681.

Around 1730 the Stockhausen estate was entered in the knighthood register, which ended its feudal property.

Franz Ferdinand von Stockhausen (1746–1821) was married to Lucia Pape and led the estate with her through the difficult times of the Napoleonic Wars .

Franz Florenz von Stockhausen (1780-1852), his son, inherited the estate. Due to the Stein-Hardenberg reforms , however, the associated farms were lost, so that he had to practice agriculture again.

After taking over the estate from his father, Julius von Stockhausen (1814–1881) tried to find new economic foundations. He had the Ruhr regulated, built a dam and set up sawmills on the Ruhr for the first time .
