Haus Hove

Haus Hove stands on Haus Hove Street 7a in the district of Oberwengern, featuring a residential building, a sheep barn, and a round tower.

The estate dates back to 1300 when Knight Kunibert from Burg Volmarstein owned it, and later the Archdiocese of Cologne controlled the property.

The poet Hoffmann von Fallersleben, creator of Deutschlandlied, visited Haus Hove seven times between 1820 and 1845 to meet Henriette von Schwachenberg.

Since 2008, the building functions as the home of Kunstakademie Wetter, making it an active center for art education and creation.

A bronze plaque at the entrance commemorates the connection between Hoffmann von Fallersleben and Henriette von Schwachenberg during their nineteenth-century encounters.
