Zehnthof (Arnoldsweiler)

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The Zehnthof Arnoldsweiler stood in Düren district Arnoldsweiler .

The Zehnthof was mentioned for the first time in 922, when the Hungarians devastated the Rhineland. The owner of the farm was the St. Ursula women's monastery in Cologne , but the farm was managed by numerous tenant families over the centuries.

In 1434, for example, an Arnold Bleß was named as a tenant . In 1677 the French set fire to the farm. In 1771 the St. Ursulastift borrowed money for the reconstruction. In 1802 the monastery was dissolved and the farm was sold to Josef Pingen. In 1856 Ferdinand Kasimir Weber, who was born on the Zehnthof, also got the Spießerhof through marriage to Agnes Knipprath. After the First World War , Engelbert Limbourg owned the farm. Josef Diefenthal bought it in 1928, but later sold it to the then director of Dresdner Bank, Carl Arthur Pastor . The Zehnthof was a half-timbered house and part of the Spießerhof at that time.
