The building is a listed building .
history
The Wiemers-Meyer Hof, which was sometimes also called the Gronefeldscher Meyerhof, is mentioned in the house book of the Gronefeld family from 1587. Around 1300, however, the von Papenheim family seems to have already owned the farm. Around 1600 the Ottberger Hof belonged to the von Kanne family, who already had goods in neighboring Bruchhausen . Friedrich Mordian von Kanne sold his Ottberg possessions in 1650 to the Rittmeister Gerhard von Gronefeld.
In 1787 the house was sold to the Büttner family. After 1800 Karl Büttner was the owner of the estate for a long time, whose widow sold the farm in 1870 to the Brakeler traders Weiler and Flechtheim, who parceled out the estate . The remaining goods were taken over by the Göllner family in 1875. Wilhelm Göllner passed it on to his son August in 1892. After his death, his widow Caroline Göllner, b. Wiemers, owner of the farm.
Since the widow Göllner had no descendants, she transferred the farm to her nephew Johannes Wiemers-Meyer in 1928, after whom the farm received its current name. In 1973 the courtyard and building area were transferred to the town of Höxter. In 1985, the east and west parts of the house with barn and farm building including walling and gate entrance were entered in the list of architectural monuments in Höxter .

Residential building
Residential building (eastern part)
The house is a two-storey, elongated half-timbered house with a gable roof that stands at the eaves . The roof cover consists of Solling panels . The gable of the half-timbered house protrudes several times with decorated foot arches or parapet arch frieze . There is an inscription on the gable with the date 1684.
In 1982 the building was extensively renovated. The town council of Höxter argued about the renovation of the gable. A casing with larch wood has been proposed. But then the 150 square meter decorative gable was professionally restored in 2018. Building materials that used to be incorrectly used, such as epoxy resin on wooden surfaces and plastered hollow bricks in the compartments , prevented the moisture from escaping properly, and the beams became rotten and brittle. In addition, many elements were simply weathered and also had to be reworked. The compartment fillings have now been renewed with ecological clay bricks . Linseed oil was used instead of epoxy resin . Since the renovation, the east wing of the house has been the parish hall of the Catholic parish of the Holy Cross.
Residential building (western part)
The manor house is a tall, two-storey, elongated half-timbered eaves house with a Sollings gable roof. The gable protrudes several times with a serrated frieze. During the renovation in 1980/1982, a desolate chimney with a sandstone slab (inscription 1595) was found.
barn
The barn is a half-timbered barn with a gable roof. The gable is made of rubble stones . The compartments are lined with brick. Initially, no use could be found for the half-timbered barn. But in 2002 the private brewery Meierhof opened its doors in the barn and brewed beer there until 2015. The brewing operation was stopped and the rooms were only used as storage space until activities were completely abandoned in 2018.
Farm buildings
The former farm building is a three-wing quarry stone building. In the middle part there are two large gate entrances. After the city of Höxter took over the building complex in 1973, a lot of thought was given to a utilization plan. The Ottbergen community did not have a covered meeting place. That is why the idea of turning the building into a meeting place for the Ottberg clubs was born. The Ottbergen cultural community, together with the city of Höxter, was involved in the planning and execution of the renovation. The plans were to recreate the appearance of the building as it was about 100 years ago.
The constant exposure to moisture had caused damage to the building, which made a renewal of the roofing and partial renovation of the roof structure absolutely necessary. This work was carried out by specialist companies. However, the cultural community also had to make considerable contributions of its own.
In 2005, the preparatory work for the renovation of the roof and repair of the outer masonry began. The topping-out ceremony was held on October 1, 2005. The stable building should be given its own name so that the individual buildings can be identified precisely when there are references to the venue in the area of the Wiemer-Meyerscher Hof ensemble. The cultural community started a competition. The “KuStall” proposal won. The inauguration ceremony took place on October 2nd, 2010.
