The Stockhausenhaus , later Engelapotheke, is a listed building from the 17th century on the Alter Markt in Arnsberg .

history

The building in its current form was built by Ludwig von Stockhausen and Elisabeth von Hanxleden in 1607. Von Stockhausen was court counselor, electoral judge and advisor to Landdrost Kaspar von Fürstenberg .

On the ground floor, the house was made of solid construction. The first floor was designed as a half-timbered construction. The foundation walls are meters thick and suggest that another building had already stood at this point. Inside there was a large hall in which the estates of the Duchy of Westphalia sometimes met.

Around 1650 the building became the property of the Schultes family, originally from Balve . As castle commanders, judges, mayors or court councilors, their members belonged to the functional elite of the city and the Duchy of Westphalia . In 1780 the house passed into the possession of Hofrat and Justice Commissioner Kaspar Droege. His widow Maria Theodora inherited the building in 1791 and married the court and privy councilor Johann Anton Boese in 1798, who then came to Arnsberg from Gut Eisborn . The son Friedrich Hubert Boese was district administrator in Meschede .

In 1831 he sold the house to the court pharmacist Willibald Brisken. He had the building rebuilt to accommodate his business and his large family. The classical portico was probably built around this time . After 1851 the building became the property of Erich d'Hauterive and Theodor Schwarz. The latter was the owner of the pharmacy for over fifty years. His son-in-law Hermann Förster relocated the business to the Brückenplatz.

The family of high school professor Karl Féaux de Lacroix lived in the house for a time in the 19th century .

In 1976 the half-timbered structure was uncovered and restored. After the building served as a doctor's practice for decades, it now houses a restaurant after renovations and rebuilding.
