Gut Braunenbruch is a former estate of the lower land nobility. Today it is in the area of ​​the city of Detmold . The manor house and the high garden are registered as a monument, the area as a ground monument.

history

The founding of the estate goes back to the year 1348. The Lippe sovereign Otto zur Lippe allowed the castle man Alrad the Black to build a fortress in the hamlet of Odermissen. In a document from September 1443, the estate is referred to as Brunenbroke an der Lechthope (= Bonebach (Werre) ). In addition to Gut Iggenhausen, the estate is the oldest country estate of the lower nobility in the County of Lippe . Braunenbruch remained in the possession of the von Schwarz family until 1716. When the lineage became extinct, the von Scheele family acquired the estate, but in 1750 sold it again to the bailiff Henrich Conrad Niemeyer zu Sternberg . The Herberhausen estate was also owned by the Niemeyer family from 1761 . Friedrich August Niemeyer finally sold Braunenbruch on July 3, 1802 to the Lippe forest auditor Philip August Merckel, uncle of the architect Ferdinand Ludwig August Merckel . His son and heir, Gustav Merckel (1813–1901), together with Friedrich Wilhelm Schönfeld from Falkenhagen, was responsible for founding the Agricultural Association . In 1836, Braunenbruch was one of 29 goods in Lippe eligible for state assembly .

According to a list from 1886, the size of the farm at that time was 183 hectares. In 1911 the size had shrunk to 145 hectares.

After the First World War , Braunenbruch lost its communal independence in 1918. The landowner Merckel could decide whether the Gut Detmold or Heidenoldendorf should be assigned. He decided on Heidenoldendorf because Detmold wanted to forbid him from home slaughter . After the Second World War , urban development expanded from both sides in the direction of Braunenbruch, making agriculture increasingly impossible. Gustav Merckel jun. therefore sold it to the city of Detmold in 1967. It is now back in private hands.

Building history

Quarry stone tower around 1910

The original facility was probably designed as a moated castle . The graves were fed by the bones creek flowing south . The predecessor of today's manor house is said to have had two towers, the new building was built in 1842. On the ruins of the medieval castle, the "High Garden" was built north of the manor house, which is closed to the north by the remains of a stone tower. The bridge over the Bonebach is from the year 1822. There are two keystones with the inscriptions “PA Merckel” and “1822”. The larger farm buildings date from the 19th century. A smaller extension of the eastern building served as a mill; it was demolished in 1977, as was the western cowshed. A mausoleum of the Merckel family from the period after 1871 was located in a small wooded area between Kniebach and Heidenoldendorfer Straße . The ruins were also removed in 1977.

Architectural monuments

The manor house from 1842 is a single-wing, plastered quarry stone building.

The three-storey middle section over four window axes rises like a tower over the rest of the building. A square lantern sits on top of the pyramid roof . A weather vane with the year 1843 was removed after 1977. The outer walls of the central building, with the exception of the courtyard side, are made of visible framework . The middle building is divided by ashlar . The arched gate passage is still preserved on the ground floor, above is a balcony on cantilevered ceiling beams over two window axes . The wrought-iron balcony parapet is in the Biedermeier-late classicist style. The roof is widened on the courtyard side and has a clock with a face made of copper and gold-plated hands.

The single-storey side wings on the high basement floor each extend over six window axes. They are covered by half-hip roofs.

The property stood empty for a long time and was extensively renovated after decay and vandalism in the early 1980s. Larger parts of the historical substance were lost, so that today only the facades largely correspond to the original condition of 1842.

The "High Garden" is also part of the monument. It has a width of 8 to 9 meters and a length of 35 meters. It is bordered by broken and brick walls with the ruined tower made of shell limestone in the north. Below the high garden is a cellar room with a barrel vault . The remains of a former water basin have been preserved in the garden.

Ground monument

In the ground there are traces of the late medieval knight's seat, including a residential building, a chapel and the moats. These relics have been protected as a ground monument since December 29, 1995.
