Overview
De Kleine Luthe is a farmhouse in Barlo, a hamlet of Aalten. In the book ‘Boerderij- en Veldnamen in Aalten’, its name is written as ‘de Kleine Lute’. The 1967 address directory gives the name as ‘Klein Luiten’.
In 1823, two households occupied De Kleine Luthe, under the house numbers Barlo 8 and 9. Around 1870, the cadastre recorded one house on the plot, with the numbers Barlo 11 and 12. The old farmhouse was demolished in 1901, and the land was then used as pasture for several years, according to the cadastre.
New building
According to local tradition, a new house was built on this plot around 1914 by Abraham Brethouwer, especially for his younger brother Willem Gerhard Brethouwer. In the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries, Willem Gerhard ran a furniture-making and wheelwright’s business here. He died unmarried in 1926. The farmhouse then passed to Abraham and his son Gerrit Jan, who eventually sold it.
After the Brethouwer brothers, the Hoens family lived at the farmhouse for many years, followed by the Hoefman family. Hendrik Hoefman had worked for Gerhard Brethouwer. Later, Hennie Hengeveld moved in from Hutteman farm. Hennie married Tilda Jansen from Aalten but did not live here for very long.
Karel Brethouwer from Bredevoort subsequently used the house as a holiday home. He was known locally for Cafetaria Aalten and its slogan “Wat Karel maakt, dat smaakt”. The Ter Horst family, from Koekoek farm, then lived here for a while. Afterwards, the property was sold to a couple from Lichtenvoorde.
In 1967, the farmhouse was listed as Klein Luiten and its address changed from Barlo 29 to Barloseweg 30. After Aladnaweg was built, the address changed again, to Aladnaweg 14.
