Gut Beringhof

Gut Beringhof is a listed agricultural facility at Zum Beringhof 3, in Wimbern, a district of the municipality of Wickede, in the district of Soest.
The Beringhof, located in the Ruhraue, was first mentioned in a document in 1185. Thus, it is the first settlement site mentioned in writing in the area of Wimbern. It was also called Beringthorpa in the Middle Ages. Beringhof means Hof of the Beringe, which means people of a Ber, Bern, Bero. The old estate is located directly on the old Ruhr. It used to be owned by the Bering family and then later passed to the von Boeselager family. After various tenants, vacancies and a motorcycle club, the "Beringhofgemeinschaft" revived the property for several years with its alternative lifestyle. The owners at the time, Wolfhard von Boeselager, his daughter Ildikó and her husband Franziskus von Ketteler, sold the property to the Müller family. A comprehensive renovation with new buildings for horse breeding, including a 25 by 60 metre riding hall, was carried out from 2006 onwards. Kathrin Müller, daughter of the owner family, is a well-known show jumper who has already competed for the German national team in Nations Cups.
