Schulte-Witten Manor

Haus Schulte-Witten in the Dortmund district of Dorstfeld is a manor house built in 1880.
Archaeological finds prove the existence of a previous building at the same location, which can be dated to the Thirty Years' War. The Schulte-Witten family can be traced back to 1394. They owned extensive lands in the Dorstfeld area, which they sold to mining companies during the emerging industrialization. (see also Dorstfeld Colliery).
Haus Schulte-Witten is now owned by the City of Dortmund and is used as a district library and for so-called ambience weddings. Furthermore, the Society for Christian-Jewish Cooperation Dortmund has its seat there. The house is registered as a historical monument in the monument list of the City of Dortmund.
Behind the house is a park area, and to Wittener Straße, the former farm and rent office building (now used as a commercial building) adjoins.
