history

The former moated castle was the seat of a family of ministers of the same name. At the end of the 16th century, Ludolf von Sundhausen sold the manor to Levin Wurmb from the Thuringian aristocratic Wurmb family based in Großfurra . After his death, his surviving children agreed on the distribution of his extensive heir. In an inheritance contract from 1636, Anna Wurmb received the manor in Sundhausen from her father's estate, while her brother Ludwig Wurmb (1613–1686) took over the father's other possessions in Großfurra and Bielen. Anna Wurmb married the Halberstadt canon Friedrich von und zu Schachten and brought the Sundhausen manor into the marriage. Due to the early death of her husband, his three sons, born with him, inherited the Sundhausen manor as feudal heirs. Since the sons were still underage, their uncle Ludwig Wurmb took over the guardianship. Since Anna von und zu Schachten married the Halberstadt canon Ludwig von Bieren in his second marriage , he became the stepfather of the three underage estate owners. Bieren suggested a comparison through which he became the owner of the Sundhausen manor. His family lived in the episcopal town of Halberstadt and since the Sundhausen manor in northern Thuringia was relatively difficult to reach, Ludwig von Bieren, in consultation with his wife and the stepchildren, decided to sell the property. A potential buyer was found in the Walkenried bailiff Dietrich Wagner . On December 3, 1655, the manor was sold to the bailiff Wagner for the sum of 6,000 Reichstalers. The payment of the first half of the purchase price was agreed on January 1, 1656, but the payment of the second half was delayed by many years.

The two brothers Johann Friedrich and Bodo Wilhelm Wagner were among the descendants of Dietrich Wagner in Sundhausen. On April 16, 1712, Prince Christian Wilhelm I of Schwarzburg-Sondershausen legitimized the nobility with the addition of Carlsburg to their name . Since that time, the name Carlsburg has become established for the manor.

In the GDR era, the building complex, now known as Karlsburg, initially served as a retirement and nursing home, then as a facility for children and young people with disabilities.

As a former manor with a farm and park, the Carlsburg in Uthleber Strasse 9-11 (Carlsburger Strasse) in Sundhausen is now a listed building and is entered in the list of cultural monuments in Nordhausen .
