Residential buildings
Salm’s Palace
The house, also called Haus zum Stern at Blaubach 30 in Cologne, was the residence of the Herstatt family from 1727-1758. It was demolished in 1893.
Lede Castle
A moated castle from the 13th century is located near Bonn. The castle in the Lach, now called Burg Lede, was acquired by Friedrich Peter Herstatt around 1820 and held for several decades. Later residents included the Berghe von Trips family, mostly known for the racing driver Wolfgang Reichsgraf Berghe von Trips, who died in an accident in 1961. The castle can still be visited today or even rented for events.
Hohenlind / Elisabeth Hospital
On the present-day site of Hohenlind and the Elisabeth Hospital, Werthmann Straße in Cologne, near Dürener Straße, was originally an estate of the Antonite Order, which was acquired by the Herstatt family after secularisation around 1803. Friedrich Peter Herstatt (1775-1851) passed the estate on to his daughter Katharina Adelaide Herstatt (1809-1863) as a dowry on the occasion of her marriage in 1829 to banker Johann Heinrich von Stein (1803-1879). In 1985 and 1988, children of the Herstatt family were born in Hohenlind, a nice feeling that this happened quasi on old Herstatt grounds.
Elisenstr. 17-19
After the early death of her husband Friedrich Johann David (1831-1888), the widow Theresia Herstatt, née DuMont Schauberg (1850-1933) moved with her children to Elisenstr. 17-19 in 1890. The house fell victim to the Second World War and was replaced by a new building.
Oppenheim Str. 16
At Oppenheim Str. 16 in Cologne was the home of Johann David gen. Iwan Herstatt (1887-1955) and his wife Clara (1893- 1981). It is also the birthplace of Iwan D. Herstatt (1913-1995).
Goethe Str. 67
In 1921-23, the architect Paul Bonatz (known for the construction of the Stuttgart railway station) built a new residence for the family Johann David Herstatt gen. Iwan (1887-1955) a new residence in the Marienburg district of Cologne. The southern round building with a pointed roof served to house the two Steinway concert pianos of his wife and pianist Clara Herstatt. The Herstatt family had to part with the property at the beginning of the 1930s in order to settle the debts incurred from the Bankhaus Seeligmann insolvency.

Eugen-Langen Str. 14
Through the sale of a pearl necklace by Clara Herstatt (1883-1981), the Herstatt family was able to buy the house at Eugen-Langen Str. 14 in Cologne Marienburg in the early 1930s. It was spared from the bombs of the war, but in 1945 it was requisitioned by the Belgian armed forces for the accommodation of officers. The house had to be handed over complete with inventory. Only a few personal things were allowed to be taken and one had to leave the house within a few hours. It was not easy to always make the right decision about what to pack and perhaps still secretly heave over the garden wall to the neighbours. Ancestral pictures of the men yes, of the women no, Clara decided on her riding prizes and piano sheet music, Iwan on his books. It was not until 1956 that the house was returned to Clara Herstatt by the Allies. The house had been emptied down to the last electrical socket. Even today, the families are still looking for ancestral pictures of their female ancestors in Belgium. Since Clara Herstatt had a flat in the nearby Von Groote Strasse in 1955, her son Iwan D. Herstatt (1913-1995) and his family moved into the house at Eugen Langen Str.14. The house did not fall into the bankruptcy in 1974 because it belonged to the mother Clara Herstatt. Iwan D. Herstatt died in this house on 9 June 1995.
