In 1961 the farm was inherited by Rolf Wilhelm Heinrich. "Die Wehlburg" needed restoration very badly, and was in a bad state of repair, but there was no money for such a tremendous job.
Rolf Wilhelm Heinrich made a deal with the Museum at Cloppenburg. The Museum would buy "Die Wehlburg" and would give credit for the building of a modern farm building on the Wehlburg compound.
Rolf Wilhelm Heinrich died in 1971, a few weeks before delivery of the new buildings took place.

The law of inheritance by the youngest son had just been changed to the youngest child. The new farm was therefore inherited by his daughter Ursula Helga Erika.
