Historic house in the "old village of Achim"
.

 With this building, a small piece of the former farming village of Achim has been preserved. The former farm is one of the 14 Bauhöfe (large farms), most of which were farmed until the 20th century. Historically, these farmsteads are probably the oldest settlements in the village and were originally all located near the church. Today's Clüverhaus, a typical Lower Saxon two-storey half-timbered farmhouse, was built in 1824, as the beam above the "Grootdöör" indicates.

The previous house was destroyed by fire in 1823, in which the three-year-old daughter Margarethe of the builder Franz Clüver also died. The farmstead was owned by the Clüver family for several centuries.

In the 1920s, a car repair shop and later a locksmith's workshop were located in the hallway. As part of the preparations for the upcoming urban redevelopment, the town of Achim bought the increasingly dilapidated Clüverhaus and had it restored as a listed building from 1970 to 1976 with subsidies from the federal and state governments for a total of DM 600,000.
 
After the renovation, the hall became an exhibition space for the art association, among others, and the town library moved into the upper floor. After the fire station was completed as a library, the upper floor became a conference room for the local history association and the history workshop. In the lower hall, where people and animals once lived under one roof, a café is now run by the Waldheim Werkstätten, a charitable institution for people with disabilities.

After the restoration of the old half-timbered barn, some of the wickerwork has been reinstalled in the neighboring Meislahn *(Kleine Kirchenstraße 2)* farmstead. The Clüverhaus, the Meislahn farmstead and the historic St. Laurentius church form a beautiful ensemble: the entire area is known as the Achim farming quarter or the "old village of Achim".
