An die Pr�senz des mittelalterlichen Deutschordens in Erfurt erinnert der Comthurhof. Der Ritter-orden erwarb das Gel�nde Ende des 12. Jahrhunderts und baute es auf. 1573 wurde der Comthurhof im Stil der Renaissance auf gotischer Basis errichtet. Bemerkenswert sind die profilierten Fens-ter und das Rundbogenportal. Hofseitig befindet sich ein achteckiger Treppenturm. Durch die romantische Kirchgasse kann man den Klosterbezirk des Augustinerklosters �stlich umgehen.

started construction on it
I think that you cannot simply say "built it" since you do not "build an area/territory...

and prepared it for forthcoming construction works (or activities)
though centuries had to pass before the building was erected.

: The current building was not built until 1573, but this was an "Erneuerungsbau" - there were buildings on the site before then (see Reference) // because what the Ritterorden did after acquiring the site had nothing to do with the building put up severa

thank you ! but if there have been buildings prior to that erected in the 16th century, my suggestion is correct and I fail to see why you find fault with it.

That is the common term to describe building construction activities.

Lirka
: they could have developed the territory into something else--e.g. a field for organic farming

But they didn't, as we learned. They developed it to build the Compturhof.

Helga Lemiere
: right, it's ok for both: agriculture or buildings, and we distinguish the difference with the context.I agree with Arno

Der Comthurhof zu Erfurt
Seine Geschichte geht auf das Jahr 1189 zurück.
Er gehörte damals dem Kloster Reinhardsbrunn.
1251
ging er durch Schenkung an den Deutschen Ritterorden über. Er wurde Sitz eines Comthurs - Leiter eines
Verwaltungsbezirkes des Geistlichen Ordens. Über 500 Jahre diente er den Ordensrittern als
Wirtschaftshof und begründete damit seinen noch heute bekannten Namen.
1573
Erneuerungsbau und Treppenturmanbau. Die Wappen über dem Torbogen erinnern daran. Es sind die Wappen des damaligen Hofmeisters Wolfgang Schutzbar - Mitte -, des Landcomthurs von Rehen - links und des Comthurs von Erfurt Franz von Hatzfeld - rechts -.
http://www.innung-metallhandwerk-erfurt.de/comthurhof.htm
It says here: 1573 "Erneuerungsbau".
In other words, there were already buildings on the site before 1573, but the current building dates from then.
It therefore follows that the Ritterorden did actually build on the site, rather than just preparing it for construction work centuries later.
