If you call us Gräftenhof. The rich peasants wanted to do the same to the nobles and built their farms around their farms.

Gräftenhöfe are a specialty of the Kernmünsterland. At the beginning of the 19th century there were still around 800 rural farmsteads in Westphalia. Many were in Kernmünsterland. Only wealthy farmers, especially the mayors in Münsterland, could afford such an elaborate farm complex. The advantage of these farms was, among other things, protection against robbery.
