House Kickley was built by Otto Hoesch, a member of the Düren industrial family Hoesch in Rath (district Düren), according to plans by Paul Darius. After the death of Otto Hoesch in the mid-1960s, the property was offered for sale. At the beginning of the 1970s, Jean Löring, former footballer, entrepreneur and president of the football club SC Fortuna Cologne, bought the castle-like house Kickley. The property was used in the time of Löring for representative purposes and gained a certain fame because of the numerous prominent guests and events.

The house has a living space of 608 m² and a park of 33,000 m². It was forcibly foreclosed in January 2003 after Jean Loring's insolvency; the District Court of Düren had set the fair value to 2.7 million euros and the creditor bank BAG banking company from Hamm was awarded the contract. With the award, Loring had lost his permanent residence in the land register; the bank capitalization of € 383,000 was enforced by the bank. The creditor bank was then ready in 2009 to allow for a minimum bid of 995,000 euros an auction of the now vacant vacancy. Today it is owned by the entrepreneur Enrico Drechsel after extensive restoration and renovation. Single-level Edit source text
