Haus Schneidhausen

Highlight • Historical Site

Was built in 1743 by Leonhard Hoesch (1684–1761), initially Reidemeister on the Neuenhammer in the Stolberg district of Vicht, now owner of a steelworks in Schneidhausen, as a representative house with an attached iron cutting mill made of quarry stone. On September 14, 1742, Hoesch had received the concession for this factory from the court chamber in Düsseldorf. Since 1716 he was married to Elisabeth Schoeller (1698–1778), daughter of the Gemünder ironworks owner Johann Peter Schoeller (1671–1753). The buttons of the iron anchors from House Schneidhausen still show the year of construction and the initials of the owner couple.
