history

The Calenberg domain (left in the center of the picture) on the Leine in Schulenburg west of the former Calenberg fortress ; Copy of a map made
by Joh. Christoph Ludewieg Clodius in 1771 ; "Signing off the lease items belonging to the Calenberg household"

The first buildings in the Schulenburg domain were erected around 1660 as a farm yard for Calenberg Castle, a few hundred meters away , from which the Guelph Principality of Calenberg took its name. With the annexation of the Kingdom of Hanover by Prussia in 1866, all royal domains became the property of the Prussian state. The main house made of red brick, attached to the baroque half-timbered courtyard building, was built in Prussian times as a domain administrator's house.

On the basis of a comparison about the expropriation of the princes , the domain with its associated lands passed after 1920 "[...] into the possession of the Princes of Hanover." The new owner was Duke Ernst August von Braunschweig, who was dethroned in 1918 , but initially in exile Cumberland Castle lived in Austria and in 1924 was given back further property in Germany. From 1930, the family therefore lived at Blankenburg Castle until the expulsion in 1945 and then at Marienburg Castle, which is located near the Calenberg domain .

From 1866 to 1956 the domain and the Calenberg estate were managed by the von Bandel family by way of a long-term lease arrangement . Bandels were based in Anhalt, where they owned the Dröbel estate near Bernburg . The first tenant was the Prussian councilor Julius von Bandel (1847–1899). He was succeeded by his second son, Captain Hans von Bandel (1882 - 1963), whose only son and potential heir, Captain Henning von Bandel (1917-1944), was killed in World War II. Julius and Hans von Bandel are buried with family members in the new cemetery in Jeinsen .

In 1957 the Duke's eldest son, Ernst August von Hanover (1914–1987) , moved his residence to the Calenberg estate. His children, including Ernst August von Hanover , who was born in 1954 , spent their childhood on the farm, which was partly equipped with half-timbered buildings , and attended primary school in Schulenburg. The main house was last inhabited by the widow of Ernst August, Monika Princess of Hanover , who died in 1987 .

In 2004 Ernst August von Hannover transferred the property to his eldest son of the same name, born in 1983, Ernst August von Hannover . The authorized manager Mauritz von Reden sold the approximately four hectare area of ​​the homestead with numerous residential and farm buildings in 2011 - allegedly without consulting the Hereditary Prince - to a private person. The associated manor land of several hundred hectares of arable land remained in the possession of the prince and is administered from Marienburg Castle. There is a joint operation with Gut Leveste . According to von Reden, the sale of the Schulenburg estate also served a restructuring of the Hereditary Prince: the proceeds from the sale flowed into the new federal states - "[...] where the house of Hanover owned castles and lands before the expropriation " - and should be used for expansion there the agriculture and forestry in Blankenburg, which have been partially bought back .
