The oat box from 1583 was Schwelm's oldest building so far. In the late evening of August 27, 2019, it burned in the park of the Marfeld house.

Thanks to the very rapid intervention of the Schwelm fire brigade, the flames were extinguished and even more destruction prevented. The emergency services prevented the fire from spreading to the nearby tree and thus also to the roof of the south wing of Haus Martfeld.
A big thank you for the once again remarkable commitment of the Schwelm fire brigade, which was able to prevent even worse things from the fire of three half-timbered houses in Kölner Strasse.

The dismay of the population over the burned and charred granary is great - especially since it was completely restored and put up again in 2007 after age-related weathering and considerable damage by the storm "Kyrill". The oat box has been owned by the Schwelm e.V.

The granary was originally located on the Mennenöh an der Oehde farm in 1583, before the town of Schwelm bought it in 1929 and stored it temporarily. In 1937 it stood in the courtyard of the new Heimatmuseum in Schulstrasse, and since 1952 in the courtyard of the Sternenbergschen house in Barmer Strasse, where the museum was newly housed. In 1965 he moved to the park of the Martfeld house by relocating the museum.
