Summaring of Findings

They are mentioned in several Rentkammer case files, and in one early document from 1747, the List of names of all Kolons of the offices of Bückeburg and Arensburg, with numbering of the all houses, we learn that Johann Heinrich Krückeberg is by 1747 a Brinksitzer of no. 10 Berenbusch.

Furthermore the prior owner of the holding, Johann Tönnies Eggerding, was also a baptism sponsor of Johann Heinrich’s son, Johann Friedrich, who was born in 1728.
