Büürenhüs’
Our Frisian farmhouse: the original house, the front part, was
already
established in 1826. From 1867 till 1872 the seafarer, Heine Bohne,
rebuilt
the place. It was very well done and now It became a captain’s house.
Mr
Bohne wanted to spend his retirement, the OLD AGE in this house, but
his
last trip didn’t bring him back home to Amrum. An accident happened.
Heine
climbed the mast and fell. He was immediately dead. 1890 Frederick von
Bodeschwing and his son came to Amrum and was the first guest in the
farmhouse.
From 1892 till 1904 the house was owned by the Korsemann family. Then,
great uncle Johannes E. Jannen, his wife Ida and son John, who
immigrated
to the United States of America a few years before, lived in New York
City,
the Bronx, returned. Johannes bought the house. Once in a while a room
was rented to tourist. In his house he managed the branch of a bank and
he also took care of the church office. At that time the house had a
little
barn, were he had 3 cows.On May 30th 1952 the niece Mathilde and
husband
John Lorenzen, immigrants, former in the Delicatessen-Business returned
to Amrum and bought the house. They extended the place. Now it was a
farmhouse
with a Frisian thatch roof. The Lorenzen family rented 3 rooms to
tourists.
They spoke German and English, had guests from all over the world. Even
after a hard working day the Lorenzens loved to spent time with the
tourists.
This atmosphere didn’t change, John gave up the farming and
retired. After he was called to his eternal rest, Mathilde moved back
to
New York Her daughter Pauline Hoefer continued and slowly, step by
step,
she converted the farm house into a Guests house. In Mai 2008 Pauline
went
back to her roots. The house on Krümwai belongs now over 100 years
to the family. Three generations loved that place and enjoyed Their
guests
and kept a cosy atmosphere. C O M E and visit us, our PLACE – THE
BÜÜRENHÜS - on Krümwai!
It is a former Frisian farmhouse, which is located on
KRÜMWAI,
close to the centre of the town. On the main road, Uasterstigh, just at
the café’ “Nautilius” you take a right and brings you
direct
to Nr. 7. On both sides of this street are houses with thatch roofs,
real
idyllic. The former farmhouse also has a thatch roof, has a beautiful
location
at the bay of Nebel. On the eastside of the house is a garden for the
guests,
which offers you a beautiful view looking towards the island Föhr
and Langeness. How breathtaking and like miracles are the sunrises you
can watch from that garden. If the tide is coming or going each sunrise
is different. In those moments you feel so close to God’s creation.
Every

friendly. |
