Hello Jerry The farm Meier zu Oestringen was mentioned in 1223 "villicus in Osteringen". I found a brief history of this farm (which still stands today) in a book about Haste. In 1240 Meier zu Oestringen belonged to the Bishop of Osnabrück. In 1240 the farmer had to pay the following to the bishop: 6 pigs 4 Malter (old measurement) barley 1 load of dry wood 2 Malter rye 1 Urne (old measurement) butter 10 hens 3 "maldra" cheese for Easter 100 eggs 100 "seutelas" 2 geese 10 Denare (currency) In the 14th century the convent in Enger received income from Meier zu Oestringen. The following people registred on the farm in 1540: the farmer Meier zu Oestringen his wife 2 farmhands 2 farm lasses The following people were registred in 1601: Meiger to Oestringen with his wife Anna the farmhand Dirk the shepherd Hans the miller Joest and Hüsselte Hille (Hüsselte were people of lower status who found a place to live on a farm) in the Leibzucht (a smaller house on the farm usually used for the old farmer and his wife when the farm was taken over by the heir) Lüdeke with his wife and sister Lise. Livestock in 1557: 8 cows 9 cattle 30 sheep 16 pigs 5 horses The following open fields belonged to the farm in 1723: die Lienwiese Meyers Esche Der Rübengarten Auf dem Oesteresch Das Kirchenstück Der große und kleine Berg Die Hove Die Holle In der Stegde Der Fischteich Der große und kleine Sunderkathen Der Mühlenhof Der Cleeberg In 1677 the bishop gave the farm including the mill to the Earl of Platen. After that the Court Marshal von Moltke und then Itel Stael were in possession of the farm. In 1730 the farm was bought by the convent Gertrudenberg There is still an inscription at the main building: Burned down in 1780, rebuilt a lot bigger in the same year by Mother Superior Walburger von Sarau. Reerected the 27th of June. At the beginning of the 19th century the Meierhof consisted of the main building, about 15 Scheffel (old measurement) arable land, the right to fish the river Nette within their land and the mill that belonged to the farm. It isn't known when this mill was built. The mill was pulled down in 1888/89. At the beginning of the 17th century a so called copper hammer belonged to the farm. In 1772 the convent let the farm to Johann Bernd Gerdinck from Malgarten whose family worked the farm for more than 200 years. The Gerding family left the farm in 1984 and the arable land was sold to another farmer (Hanesch) in Haste. The building is now used for living purposes only. Well, I hope the above is of some interest to you. There is also a Grothaus farm in Haste but I can't see a connection to the Grothaus in Harderberg.
