Trompeterhof (Nörvenich)
The Trompeterhof , also known as the Trompeterburg , is a listed courtyard at Hirtstrasse 13 in Nörvenich in the Düren district , North Rhine-Westphalia .
The two-winged, according to earlier documents three-winged courtyard, was built in its current appearance in the 18th century. Next to the arched gate there is a small gate, above which stands the coat of arms of Count Franz Joseph Wolff Metternich, called Elmpt von Burgau, and his wife Maria Isabella Theresia von Gymnich , who married in 1737 and built the courtyard in the style of the time have changed or rebuilt. The name Trompeterhof, which is still common today, does not appear in old files and documents. A single mention of this name was found in the cadastral map 1808/09.
On December 30, 1944, the courtyard was badly damaged by aerial bombs and was rebuilt after the Second World War .
As Reiner Badenheuer reports in his notes from 1770 to 1789, the Metternicher Hof, as the property was called, had to assign a man to ring the middle bell when the bell was rung on the May evenings "against thunder" and also when it was approaching Thunderstorms were tackled with the sound of bells.
The names of the tenants of the farm have been known almost without gaps since the end of the 17th century. From 1696 to 1794 members of the Olbertz family stayed at the Metternicher Hof. The Olbertz were a well-known and respected Halfen family in Nörvenich and the surrounding area . They were followed from 1794 to 1845 by Mathäus Vaaßen and his son Franciscus Jacobus Vaaßen, who moved in 1845. His successors on the farm are not known for the 19th century.
After the publication of the Chamber of Agriculture in 1914 "Goods and larger farms of the Rhine Province", the farm had 50 hectares of arable land. At that time it was leased to Severin Adams, who farmed it with six horses and kept 30 head of cattle and ten pigs.
Reiner Badenheuer later leased the farm. In 1933 he was given to the Cologne industrialist Dr. Julius Schütz sold, who took up residence here and had it run by a manager. At the end of the 1950s, the Trompeterhof was bought by the Leunissen family, who are still managing it today in the following generation.
The farm was entered on March 19, 1985 with an amendment on August 12, 2005 in the list of monuments of the municipality of Nörvenich under No. 43. The monument was expanded in 2005 to include the brick wall from the Annahof to the cemetery border.
The ruins of Harff's castle belong to the Trompeterhof .
