Castrop-Rauxel - Haus Goldschmieding
The House Goldschmieding is a former noble seat on the urban area of Castrop-Rauxel. Its origins lie in a knighthood from the 13th century, whose name is composed of the Middle High German terms "gholt" for "wood" or "at the forest" and "smedinc" for "forge."
In the last quarter of the 16th century, the house was completely redesigned in the style of the Lipperenaissance by its owners and presents itself today - in a reduced form - as a simple plaster building, which is used as a restaurant.
In conjunction with the knight Lambert von Gholtsmedinc, Haus Goldschmieding was first mentioned in 1275 as the boundary of the archbishop's Recklinghausen against the counts von der Mark. At that time it was a defensible house surrounded by a countryside, located on an island. The corresponding foreshore was also located on its own island and was connected to the main island via a bridge.
At the end of the 14th century the property came to the family of Alstede, followed by the family of Asbeck. Only a little later the property was owned by William of the Ovelacker. After the hereditary daughter of Goldschmieding, Anna Margaretha von Ovelacker, married Johann von Schell zu Rechen in 1583, Haus Goldschmieding moved into the possession of the lords of Schell, who had their ancestral seat in the house of Rechen near Bochum. Jürgen Christoph von Schell (1619-1677) became the patron of the small Protestant congregation in Castrop. He enabled her to celebrate Evangelical Lutheran worship in the Knight's Hall. In the second half of the 16th century, the Protestant congregation had been able to celebrate its divine service at Bladenhorst Castle, but after its castle lord Philipp Arnold von Viermundt (also called "Philipp von Viermundt der Jüngere") turned to the Reformed Church, this was no longer possible there.
