Where in fact was the old judge’s house (Richterhaus) in Scherfede situated?
Under the title “The Thonemann Line in Rimbeck”, Bernd Thonemann writes in the last paragraph of his family book that the Richterhaus was located at the corner of the Hauptstraße approach road to Mönchshof.
Older people from Scherfede, however, say that the Richterhaus stood directly at the church at Kirchstr. 17. In the village the residents of the house were addressed by their surname “Allen Richts”.
“Allen Richts” is Low German and means “Alter Richter” (old judge) in High German.
Who has additional documents which may support the one or other assumption?
