Erve Ribbert - Ootmarsum

N 52.4142368 / E 6.8851128

Erve Ribbert is a farm of the so-called ‘halle(n)huis’ type. The halle house is a building type with a number of characteristics, which are found in farms in the eastern and central Netherlands and northern Germany. Originally, it is a longitudinal, three-aisled building, meaning that the interior space consists of three parts. This includes ‘the part’, the open working area, in the middle and the stables on either side. Typical of the halle house is the anchor beam truss, a load-bearing timber structure (the truss) consisting of two vertical posts and a horizontal anchor beam (crossbeam).

Erve Ribbert was built in 1750 by hofmeier Hermannus van Beverforde. Hofmeier was the name for the administrator of a manor on behalf of the bishops of Utrecht. These had been granted the territory by the emperor of Germany. The farm was leased by Van Beverforde and his descendants to four generations of the Ribbert family for more than a century, hence the name. Today, the farm is still in operation and an official National Monument.
