history

The two-storey, plastered, large and differentiated villa with a hipped roof , a three-storey turret on the corner and a rear flight of stairs was built in 1872 in the era of historicism in a castle style in a round arch architecture and with elements in the English Tudor style for the canvas dealer and consul for the kingdom Saxony Hermann Leupold (1826–1901) built. The three-axis portico with Corinthian column capitals and above it with the word "A solid castle is our God" is characteristic. In the middle of the striking cornice with the fortified battlements is a stone family coat of arms. Six sculptures on and around the building are also under monument protection.

After that, the owners changed more often. When the Heydenreichs lived in the house from 1903 to 1908, the estate was called Eichenhorst . The Martens family from the Martens and Weyhausen bank at Langenstrasse 15 lived here after 1924. The 1908 Hofmeierhaus was demolished in 1961. There is now a bungalow here.

The house is surrounded by the 3 hectare public Menke Park from the former Landruhe estate .

Today (2018) the house is expanded by practices and offices u. a. used by an association.
