Oberwerries Castle – Wikipedia
The Oberwerries Castle Is a two-winged water lock in the Lipenuen of the Hammer District Hamm-Hamm-Heessen. It comprises several buildings that have grown together over the centuries into today’s palace complex.
The brick masonry facility consists of a double -leaf manor house, which is upside down to the east. North of the manor house is a gatehouse, which is connected to a small baroque garden in the north.
Manor house [ Edit | Edit the source text ]
The manor house consists of a main building with two floors and a two -story wing that follows south, but it is narrower and slightly lower than the main building. A square pavilion tower is set to the south wing east.
The three buildings of the manor house have belt cornice and window frames from Baumberger sandstone as a common architectural element. However, their roof shapes are sometimes different. While the main house and the pavilion tower have a mansard roof, the south wing has been completed by a bent steep roof.
Both the main house and the southern wing of the manor house have a separate entrance, but both can be reached via a common free staircase.
Gatehouse [ Edit | Edit the source text ]
The gatehouse is the oldest part of the facility, of which its iron wall anchors witness with the year 1667. There is a fireplace from 1672 in the building stone. Due to a bricked -up but still visible, still visible, Gothic pointed arch window, which was part of the former palace chapel, building historians assume that the gate construction is older and was only renewed and rebuilt in 1667.
Stall [ Edit | Edit the source text ]
To the east of the manor house is the so -called Marstall, which is the latest building in the castle. It is an elongated, rectangular building with window frames from Baumberger sandstone, on the east side of which a former dog stable is adjacent to the east.
The feudal rule over the curtis In Werries, to which the houses can be traced back (or low) and Oberwerries on both sides of the lip, the Limburg branch of the Berg-Altena house was. As early as 1284, a castle was mentioned as a predecessor building of today’s castle in the feudal register of the Counts of Limburg-Styrum. This year, Dietrich von Limburg banned Angelbert von Herbern with the feudal goods called Kolve called by the sons of the Wessel. The defensive system served to protect the Münsterland.
For the period around 1400 there is a Conrad von Herbern as the owner of the fief. After the death of Hermann, the last male namesake of those of Herbern, his mother sold the Oberwerries in 1464 north of the Lippe to Gerd von Beverförde from the Dutch province of Oberijssel. At that time, there was already a second property south of the lip that was located downstream and was therefore called Lower or Niederwerries. The family, which has been proven on Niederries since the 15th century, has already been attested in this room a hundred years earlier: 1322 Johann von Neheim was compatible with Engelbert von Herbern because of the mill in Werries. The Neheims remained until the first half of the 17th century gentlemen of the estate, but then due to serious difficulties in wealth, their possessions were bankrupt.
After the Neheimsche Haus zu Hamm had already transferred from Beverförde to Oberwerries in 1616 via a bourgeois middle man, in 1677 they also acquired the castle seat in Lower or Niederwerries and thus reunited both houses in one hand. The then landlord on Oberwerries had begun in 1667 with the new building of the palace complex, which his widow Ida von Plettenberg, a sister of the Prince -Bishop Friedrich Christian von Plettenberg in 1684/92, had completed. As a builder of the new manor house, which was built on the foundations of the old castle, the Castle of Ahaus and the Capuchin monastery Werne were built on the foundations of the old castle due to typical architectural elements of the Capuchin Ambrosius von Oelde.

The building ensemble was completed in 1692 under Freifrau Ida von Beverförde-Werries, born of Plettenberg. However, there is also the possibility that the construction work did not graduate until 1714, because this year can be found on the grid railing of the free stairs at the manor house.
Ida’s grandson, the Prussian chamberlain Friedrich Christian von Beverförde, called The great Werries from 1730 to 1735 had the current Marstall building built on the site of the outer bailey according to plans by Johann Conrad Schlaun. The remnants of the broken Niederwerries delivered the building material. With the Great Werries The last member of the von Beverförde family died in 1768. Oberwerries Castle came to the Elverfeldt family family by inheritance – Friedrich Christian had adopted the son of a cousin and made a heir with Friedrich Clemens von Elverfeldt. His descendants, called by Elverfeldt from Beverfoerde to Werries at Loburg Castle in Ostbevern, remained owners of the castle for the next 160 years and thus revealed.
In 1942, Freiherr Carl Maximilian Joseph von Elverfeldt called it from Beverfoerde to Werries to the Saxony colliery in Heessen, which it resolved to the city of Hamm in the same year. From 1952, this had a building protection carried out and the buildings restored in stages until 1975. The manor house was transformed into a professional country school home, while today’s sports and qualification center of the Westphalian gymnastics association has been located in the stall. The last renovation and renovation measures in 1975 primarily served to install a new staircase and restore the castle cellar.
Today Oberwerries Castle serves as an educational and meeting place and as an event location of representative receptions of the city of Hamm. The conference took place there from September 5th to 7th, 1952, which led to the foundation of the Association of German Music Schools. In the pavilion tower there is also the possibility to be trusted in the civil office.
From ancient times the HEESENKALLY HEESSEN, Oberwerries had been parish to Dolberg in 1636 [2] ; It was only the 1975 area reform that was backed back to the old community association, which was now opened in Hamm.
