Oskar Frenzel : Negretti sheep bred at Gut Kentzlin in the Demmin district

In Lenschow, Maltzahn set up a sheep farm that received international attention and earned him extensive business relationships around the world. For the wool from his Negretti herd, Maltzahn received a gold medal at the Paris World Exhibition in 1855 . After the merino meat sheep became increasingly important and the price of wool fell, keeping Maltzahn no longer paid off. The attempt to open a stud was thwarted by a snot epidemic . Eventually he had to sell Lenschow, but went bankrupt before that in 1873 . In 1871 he sold the Lenschow estate to Wilhelm Vollrath August von Treuenfels .

He spent his twilight years with his son on his Fideikommiss Gützkow , who came to him from maternal inheritance, and was buried in the family chapel in the churchyard in Röckwitz .
