In the 14th century, the family of ministers of Düngelen established themselves in the town of Castrop-Rauxel. During the 15th century, Düngelen became one of the most important noble families in the county of Mark. Through marriage, Haus Bladenhorst fell to the von Viermund family around 1500 and to the von Romberg zu Brünninghausen family after 1610. The attack on the von Rombergs was long controversial. In the late 17th and 18th centuries Brünninghausen and Bladenhorst were administered together. After 1810 Bladenhorst broke away from the joint administration. Gisbert von Romberg transferred Bladenhorst to his son Clemens von Romberg, who in turn transferred it to his son Conrad von Romberg. The entire mining property of the von Romberg family was transferred to Bladenhorst in 1855. By marriage with Caroline von Romberg Bladenhorst fell to Baron von Weichs in 1881. Bladenhorst was sold to Klöckner-Werke in 1926 after lengthy preliminary negotiations. History of the stock The largest part of the stock was apparently moved to Haus Brünninghausen in the 18th century. On Bladenhorst remained the currente registry of the estate administration. After the death of Gisbert von Romberg, some documents and files were returned to Bladenhorst. The stocks stored there were recorded by Dr. Nordhoff in 1866. Parts of his inventory have been preserved in file number 100. In 1896, a fire broke out at Haus Bladenhorst that severely damaged or even destroyed parts of the stock. When the house was sold in 1926, the von Weichs family transferred the holdings as a deposit to the State Archives, which between 1908 and 1955 also took over the entire Romberg von Buldern archive, including the older holdings of Haus Bladenhorst, in several stages. In 1962 the deposit was supplemented by smaller supplements. The written material handed over in 1926 was accessible until 2002 in four partial collections of varying quality. On the occasion of the completion of the indexing work on the entire Romberg archive, the work on the deposit was also completed in 2002. The severely damaged documents were recorded by Prof. Ludwig Schmitz-Kellenberg in handwriting soon after 1926. Its indexing, which was hardly legible due to the peculiar writing style, was included in the VZ database and at the same time critically revised; at the same time, the holdings were checked for restoration requirements. The file was divided into three parts until 2002. (1) The so-called "Archive" with 98 units between 1493 and 1821 had been superficially recorded by R. Keimer around 1926. It comprises mainly residual traditions of the older Bladenhorst stock. The inventory was newly recorded. (2) The so-called "Registratur" comprised in XXV sections the files of the estate administration since about 1810 with previous files since the 16th century (522 Nrr. ) as well as a collection of 33 maps. The map holdings had already been removed and transferred by Dr. Sagebiel to the map collection of the State Archives (No. A 21265 - 21308) and listed. The indexing of R. Keimer covered up to 27 subvolumes under signatures that had already been extensively used by regional research. The re-drawing followed the numerus currens of the older class and allowed the order formed by Keimer with its units and signatures (according to the formula "Archive" 100) to exist. Three numbers were missing, approx. 15 volumes had been shifted the layer (3). (3) Approximately 5.5 linear metres of registry material was unrecorded until 2002. It mainly consisted of accounting documents which were included in summary form (No 622-922). A partial cassation was waived for legal reasons. The three layers were indexed by a common classification and an index and are now available as a finding aid. Source value The older documents and files up to 1800 are included in the archive of Romberg. The files after 1800 document the administration of the property of a noble estate until 1926, which was increasingly overlaid by mining and industry. Railways, mining and the chemical industry gradually restricted the land holdings of Haus Bladenhorst and its agriculture and forestry. This process is meticulously reflected in the files. Furthermore, the tradition of Romberg's mining estate in the 1850s is important. For the city history of Castrop(-Rauxel) the inventory is valuable because of numerous references to the city and court of Castrop. Literature: Culture and Homeland (Castrop-Rauxel) 13 (1961)
