Köritzhof, Timber-framed house in Buchholz-Kleefeld, Germany.

Köritzhof is a former farmstead in Groß-Buchholz, Hanover, whose main building is a hall house dated 1619. It is a two-post timber structure with clay-plastered wickerwork infill, side lean-tos called Kübbungen for cattle, and Gothic pointed arches formed by closely set wall posts at the gable ends. A separate half-timbered retirement house with a plastered extension dates from the 19th century.

Köritzhof takes its name from its builder Köritz, who immigrated from Brandenburg in the 17th century and erected the hall house in 1619, the oldest dated farmhouse in Hanover. In 1689 the farm comprised six acres; by 1870 it belonged to a Brinksitzer named Krull, one of 14 smallholdings among Groß-Buchholz's 34 farms, and by the 19th century it had grown to 26 acres. Legend holds that Tilly's mercenaries were quartered here during the Thirty Years' War.

The farmstead is named after its builder Köritz, who immigrated from Brandenburg in the 17th century. In 1870 it belonged to a Brinksitzer named Krull, one of 14 smallholdings among Groß-Buchholz's 34 farms; his cattle were driven to the common pasture in the Roderbruch. A legend places Tilly's mercenaries here during the Thirty Years' War.

The farmstead stands at the edge of Groß-Buchholz's old village core, beside the former Pinkenburg guard and customs house on the Landwehr. The grounds are overgrown with bushes, ivy and wild shrubs, so the hall house's show gable is the part best seen from the street. The site is privately owned and not open to visitors.

The beam above the gateway on the street-facing show gable carries a Low German house inscription dated 12 March 1619, asking God to protect the house and all that goes in and out. A carved corbel projection (Knaggenvorkragung) on that gable was destroyed by a severe whirlwind in 1830; the repair is still visible in the gable.
