history

The land around the Desenberg belonged to Messrs Spiegel zum Desenberg in the Middle Ages . As early as 1338, the von Spiegel knights had begun to divide their large common property among the family branches. In 1558, Friederich von Spiegel goods were transferred to Übelgönne (= "evil favor") on the Eggel. In 1588, the four branches of the Spiegel family based at the knights' seats in Rothenburg , Klingenburg , Übelngönne and Bühne agreed to mutually use each other as inheritance if a line in the male line died out. Friederich von Spiegel and his wife Elisabeth von Rottorp had a three-storey, massive moated castle built in the Renaissance style, which was completed in 1596 and whose hexagonal stair tower is still preserved. After Schweckhausen Castle (1581) and Borlinghausen Castle (1587), Übelngönne was the third of several Renaissance moated castles that members of the mirror family could build one after the other in a short time. In the following years, a water mill , a granary and other outbuildings were added to the estate .

Around 1700 the estate was divided and in 1703 a second mansion was built on the other side of the Eggel. A sandstone with the year and the coat of arms of the von Spiegel family (three mirrors) and von Oeynhausen (ladder) indicates that the owner, who comes from the Spiegel family, married a woman from Oeynhausen. After that, the estate with the new baroque manor house was called Oberübelngönne and the estate with the moated castle Niederübelngönne .

In the middle of the 18th century, to the left of the Oberübelngönne house, another residential building with a single flight of stairs and a high basement was built. Some of the sandstone slabs inserted there showed the coat of arms of the von Spiegel family and the coat of arms of the von Haxthausen family ( wagon weave ), from which a marital connection to the von Haxthausen family can be inferred.

In 1828 Ober- and Niederübelngönne were again in one hand, namely in the possession of Halberstadt canon Werner Friedrich Julius Stephan von Spiegel . The estate included 1,000 acres of land and meadows and 1,500 acres of “woodland” and it was valued at 100,000 thalers . By 1860 the estates still comprised 1,067 acres of land.

In 1929 the district of Warburg acquired Übelngönne and created two larger farms and a number of part-time businesses . The previous tenant, the Warburg coal merchant Johann Kroll, acquired the remaining property and the buildings. The historic granary, the mill and the smaller manor house in Oberübelngönne fell into disrepair and were demolished one after the other in the second half of the 20th century.

building

From the original moated castle Niederübelngönne only the hexagonal stair tower remains, the outer sides of which are 3.31 m wide. The irregular wall connections show that the residential building must have had a high basement and two residential floors. A spiral staircase made of sandstone has been preserved inside the tower . On the middle floor there is a coat of arms with the year 1596 and a double coat of arms of the families von Spiegel (three mirrors) and von Rottorp (three left half comb wheels ) with the inscription:

FRIDERICH.SPEGEL.HAT.GEBVWT
VND.GOT.DEM.HERN.ALZEIT.TRVT
LISABET.VON ROTTARP.SEIN FRAVW.EHLIG
GOT.MACHE.SE.ALLZEIT.SELICH.

In the weather vane there is a sign with two three mirrors and the inscription: WA.BSZD.1807.

The other agricultural outbuildings that surround the courtyard date from the late 19th century.

The Oberübelngönne manor house, built in 1703, is a simple, symmetrical baroque building. It consists of a high basement with barrel vaults , a plastered main floor with a central entrance and four window axes on the left and right, behind which the living rooms are, and a half-hip roof . A stately, two-flight staircase made of sandstone is in front of the house.
