The Teschemacher Hof (also Haus Teschemacher and Teschemachers Mirke ) is a listed former manor house in the Wuppertal district of Uellendahl-Katernberg .

description

The building is the surviving part of a courtyard complex built around 1630 called "Teschemacher Hof". It is located on a side street off Uellendahler Straße with the name In der Mirke . The building complex consists of two wings that are built next to each other at right angles. The two three-storey wings of the building were built in half-timbered construction, which only remained uncovered on the northern side of the facade , the other sides are slated . The north-eastern wing is probably the older part of the building; its construction shows characteristics of Renaissance buildings . The half-gable roof has the shape of a crooked roof and merges into a three-storey facade. The individual projectiles protrude from there via grooved lugs . On the southwest wing there is a bay-like extension that evokes associations with a chapel . Both parts of the building have roofs in the form of a gable roof , with small crooks on the gable ends. A small bell tower is located on the south-western roof as a ridge turret . For centuries the bell rang in the new year - today it has fallen silent.

history

The building is not only one of the oldest half-timbered buildings in Elberfeld , but is also important for the history of Elberfeld as the place where the organ builder Jacob Engelbert Teschemacher worked . In addition, 13 Elberfeld mayors emerged from the Teschemacher family in the 17th and 18th centuries.

It goes back to the court house "Obersten Mirke", one of three court houses on the "Mirke". The court house "Obersten Mirke" was owned by Peter in der Mirke in 1543. The court houses "Mittlere Mirke", "Unterste Mirke" and "Obersten Mirke" were mentioned until the 17th century, but not after that.

The house was owned by the Teschemacher family until 1911, when it was acquired by the city of Elberfeld. The “Mirke outdoor pool”, which is still near the house today, was built by the Teschemacher family.

From 1974 to 1977 the manor house was extensively restored, taking into account the monument protection at the time, as one of the first objects. The work included the exterior facade and the restoration of the entrance boards. On August 21, 1986 the original manor house was placed under monument protection as a rare example of the early Bergisch half-timbered construction.
