Excerpt from the Book

5.4. The Property, Administration, and Dissolution of the Monastery


With the exception of the Schuhenhof farm in Ünainghausen, all farms and cottages in Benninghausen, Kaldewey, Ünninghausen, and on the Heide belonged to Benninghausen Monastery.

In addition, the Söbberinghof, Weringhof, Glasmerhof, and Klinger farms in the parish of Erwitte belonged to the monastery. The monastery also held property in Stirpe and Westemkotten, including two saltworks in Westemkotten. In the parish of Horn, the monastery owned property in Böckum, Norddorf, Ebbinghausen, Wiggeringhausen, Lohe, Schmerlecke, and Berenbrock. In the parish of Heuinghausen, it owned property, among other places, at the Overhagen farm. Further holdings were scattered throughout the parish of Ostinghausen, in Soest, Lippstadt, near Altengeseke, and in the Münsterland region, not only in Göttingen.
