Goldebee is a district of the municipality of Benz near Wismar in the northeast of the district of Northwest Mecklenburg in Mecklenburg-Western Pomerania (Germany).
history
In the beginning, the residents of Goldebee were Wends, farmers who used very primitive tools to extract the bare essentials for a living from the very good soil. There were probably also hunters, because there was a lot of forest here. It is unclear when Germans also settled down. It is also unclear when and under what circumstances the farms developed into an estate. The first written mention of Goldebee (Goldebu) goes back to January 25, 1321.
From the state calendar of 1818 it can be seen that, in addition to the estate, Goldebee also had 3 farm positions that are also noted there in 1886. Raabe reported in his "Mecklenburgische Vaterlandskunde" from 1857 that Goldebee had 157 inhabitants, including 3 Kossets . This suggests that these were small peasant economies that either owned only a small amount of land, or perhaps had only leased the land they cultivated from the owner of the property, i.e. were somehow dependent on the same.
Goldebee was owned by the von Stralendorff family as early as the Middle Ages . The Stralendorffs and their successors in possession of the property also had patronage over the local church and parish. It was not until 1936 that the patronage was transferred to the Oberkirchenrat through a contract that the then owner Knut von Graefe signed with the regional church, paying a sum of 12,400 marks and transferring 24 hectares of land. In 1651 Dietrich von Stralendorff left the estate to his son-in-law, Lieutenant Colonel Nils Rothe, for a period of 24 years, for which he had to pay him 7,000 guilders, which in the currency at the time was equivalent to 10,500 marks or 3,500 Reichstalers. This contract was extended by 20 years in 1676, for which Rothe's children should pay 8,500 guilders. But ten years later Hartwig von Flotow, also a son-in-law of the Stralendorffs, was the owner of Goldebee. In 1695 he sold the estate to Hartwig von Lützow for 15,000 guilders, in agreement with then court court president Ulrich von Stralendorff. After that, it is not clear from when, the Hobes owned Goldebee for almost 100 years. It is known that Otto Friedrich von Hobe returned to his parents' house in Goldebee in 1701, as his father was very weak and it was feared that he would soon die. He now assisted his father in the management of the estates and took the maiden Augusta Juliana v. Lützow (the widowed Majorin von Lützow) in Goldebee on October 18, 1702 "on due recruitment from your wife, mother, who was still alive at that time". Sparrow to wife.
"His erudition, [his] astute mind, [his] dexterity and [the] skill in the mouth and [with the] pen" made him so popular with the knighthood that they proposed him as one of several candidates for the district election in 1722. He was confirmed in such office by the emperor and in the following period often took the opportunity to excel in diplomatic broadcasts; In 1729, for example, he congratulated the King of Great Britain on his arrival in Hanover on behalf of the Mecklenburg estates. Otto Friedrich von Hobe was a ducal Mecklenburg district administrator and heir to Klein - Tessin and Goldebee. He died on October 8, 1732. His body was then "confirmed to earth" on November 5, 1732 in Goldebee.
In the period between 1729 and 1732, Adam von Strahlendorff tried in vain to win Goldebee back for the von Strahlendorff family. In 1801 Kommerzienrat Köster bought the estate, and it remained in his family until 1893. Then followed for 6 years Hans Bosselmann, in 1899 Albrecht von Graefe became the owner of Goldebee. He was a national politician in the Weimar Republic and a friend of Adolf Hitler . The Graefes were the last owners of the property until it was expropriated by the Soviet military administration in 1945.
On December 5, 1998, the Mehldau family became the new owners of the Goldebee estate. It also provides the community mayor.
