history

Einsidelsborg has been the main town of the entire Podebusk family estate since 1650, when it was renamed and expanded to “Egebjerggård” . The square with its lands and the neighboring old Renaissance water castle Kørup has been known in documents since 1410. The extensive aristocratic estate has belonged to the Petersdorff-Roepstorff family since the end of the 18th century. With the dissolution of the Danish feudal county order in 1921, Einsidelsborg became "free property" and since 1929 (divided by Kørup) civil property. In 1931 the old name "Egebjerggård" (farm on the oak hill) was taken over again. Today's main building was built under the Petersdorffs in 1830; it is a representative classicist one by the Danish architect JP Jacobsen.

The first owner of the new "Einsidelsborg", named after his wife, a Baroness Sidonia Marie von Einsiedel (approx. 1600–1673), was Henrik Clausen Podebusk (1598–1657) from 1650 to 1657. Einsiedelsborg remained in the possession of the Podebusk until 1781. They moved back to Rügen and also took the Podebusk coffins from the family crypt. After a brief interim ownership by Count Moltke - during this time the future Prime Minister Adam Wilhelm Moltke was born on Einsidelsborg - Einsidelsborg and Kørup and all of the lands became the property of the Petersdorff-Roepstorff family in 1795. Her family grave is in the cemetery in Krogsbølle. The last owner in this line was Paul Ludvig von Petersdorff, who died in 1919 without descendants as the last male bearer of the Danish branch of the Petersdorff family .

He was followed from 1919 to 1929 by the Danish aristocratic family Wedel-Heinen, who were related by marriage to the Petersdorffs, and from 1929 onwards various middle-class families. In 1963 the carpet manufacturer and politician Mads Eg Damgaard (1913–1999) became the owner, whose family fund has been running the estate since 1999 until today.
