Listringhausen Manor (Meinerzhagen)
The old manor house Listringhausen is one of the landmarks of the city of Meinerzhagen. It is located in the immediate vicinity of the pre-dam of the Genkeltalsperre and is an eye-catcher in the very rural surroundings. The nearest village is the farming village of Genkel.
The historic site is first mentioned in a document in 1621, when Friedrich von Neuhoff, the later owner of Badinghagen, was granted recognition as a manor house by the Elector of Brandenburg for his Listringhausen possessions.
Through inheritance division, the two houses Listringhausen and Badinghagen were separated again in 1653.
The son Caspar Christoph von Neuhoff received Listringhausen. He was followed by three more generations of his family at Listringhausen, which was then transferred to Baron Franz Adolf Joseph von Nagel zu Badinghagen. However, with him, the line of Nagel zu Badinghagen and Listringhausen also died out in the male line. The heiress married Franz Karl Reichsfreiherr Raitz von Frentz zu Schlenderhan in 1789, from whom the two houses passed in a public auction in 1897 for 40,300 Marks to Heinrich Dresler from Kreuztal.
Building+
In general, the Listringhausen estate then as now included the main house, ancillary house, gatehouse, stables, and a park, surrounded by a small rubble stone wall. The current ancillary house was built eleven years before the current manor house and was probably originally the main house at that time. This is also indicated by the coat of arms above the two middle doors of the ancillary house, on which the new bourgeois owner added his initials "HD" for Heinrich Dresler and the year 1897 to the alliance coat of arms of Neuhoff / von der Mark zu Villgst. With nine window axes on the courtyard side, it asserts itself equally alongside the current manor house.
In 1903, both houses were restored. The manor house, ancillary house, gatehouse, and stables were plastered, so today nothing remains of the actual rubble stone as building material.
The Listringhausen estate can only be viewed from the outside, as it is purely private.
