Hof Bärwinkel, Historical farm in Oberelfringhausen, Germany.

Hof Bärwinkel is a working farm situated above Felderbach stream in Oberelfringhausen, located within protected landscape zones. The buildings occupy a hillside position among fields and forest in the rolling countryside of North Rhine-Westphalia.

The property was first recorded in 1220 and entered the Bärwinkel family ownership in 1297, remaining with descendants ever since. This continuous family stewardship across centuries shaped how the farm developed and functioned.

The farm represents traditional rural life that shaped the region, where generations of residents spoke Plattdeutsch among themselves. This local dialect remains woven into the place's identity and how people remember it.

The farm is reached by a forest hiking path that takes about half an hour on foot starting from Felderbachstraße, crossing a modern bridge where a ford once served. Wear sturdy shoes and plan for the woodland walk in your visit.

The farm is framed by four protected natural monuments: a summer lime tree, a common oak, and two red beeches that stand around the buildings. These ancient trees remain a defining feature of the place.
