The then most famous representative of the Ruhr mining industry, Emil Kirdorf, built the Streithof 1905-1907 as a retirement home. Kirdorf was a nationalist, revered Bismarck and later the Nazis. So Adolf Hitler came several times to visit the Streithof.
After the Second World War the strickenhof was first officer accommodation of the British army, then nursing home, later specialist clinic for addicts. Today the property is privately owned.
The court is part of the Route Industriekultur: route-industriekultur.ruhr/themenrouten/20-unternehmervillen/streithof.html
