The Burgmannshof Issumer Tower forms the southeastern counterpart to the Bakenhof on the northeast side of the city. As a castle fiefdom (Burgmannshof), the farm was awarded by the city's founder, the Count of Kleve, to a nobleman, probably the Knight of Issum. However, no document about this process has survived. The first surviving document concerns the enfeoffment of Simon von Aldenbrüggen by the Elector of Cologne in 1430. One of the more important feudal holders was Isenbrand von Preuth, the owner of Haus Kaldenhausen, who took over the tower in 1609 together with his wife Christine von Eyll.
