A beautiful, very unusual house with a small park.

In 1967 the Tuckesburg was sold to the city of Münster, renovated and used as a residential building ever since. From 1974 to 1986 the Tuckesburg was inhabited by the painter, gallery owner and children's book author Antje Vogel and her husband Claus Steinrötter. Since 1986 there have been 3 apartments in the 150 square meter building.

Hiking

The Tuckesburg is located on a small hill (the "Weyhesche Hügel") on the edge of the old zoo in Münster between Promenade, Himmelreichallee and Hüfferstraße. It was the home of Hermann Landois, built in 1892, in which he lived from March 17, 1892 with his monkey "Lehmann" until his death. He had it built according to his ideas right next to the zoo he founded. There he called himself "Graf Tucks".
