Good brook
The Gut Brook , formerly court or Hoff for Brock called, is an agricultural estate with mansion and is located in the town of Hollern in the district Stade in Lower Saxony.
history
It is first mentioned in the possession of the Swedish Imperial Councilor Salvius, with whom the Bremen estates negotiated after the country was occupied by the Swedes in 1632. It is expressly described as free of treasure and contributions, and seems to have been a registered office beforehand. His daughter Anna was married to Peter Brandt, who immigrated from Sweden, whose son, later General War Commissioner Peter von Brandt († March 27, 1648) inherited the estate. He was married to Margarete, geb. von Spreckelsen, who after the death of her husband is repeatedly mentioned under her maiden name as the owner of Gut Brook. The nobility conferred on him by Queen Christine of Sweden was confirmed to his son, the Swedish agent in Hamburg Peter von Brandt, by Emperor Leopold I in 1670. The estate passed to his son, Carl Gustav († November 30, 1729) and from this to his son Peter von Brandt, who received the knighthood register on November 17, 1733. The future husband of his daughter Juliane Victoria (* April 24, 1729, married 1746) Christian von Cronhelm († May 15, 1783) acquired from Peters' widow, Katharine Juliane von Brandt, née. von Moller, owned the Brook estate in 1744 and left it to his son Peter von Cronhelm († May 7, 1796), who after the death of his brother Christian Otto († January 3, 1796) was also the owner of the estate for a few months on Melau. Since December 1782 he was with Anna Margarete, geb. von Brandt wed and died childless. His widow, who inherited the Brook and Melau estates from him and who was also the owner of the Bramstedt estate that her father had left behind, had a second marriage to the Prussian lieutenant on December 6, 1801 at the age of 53. D. Ludwig von Uckermann, with whom she lived on Melau. The indebtedness of the three goods as a result of a very wasteful lifestyle forced them to sell in 1829.
According to a farming history, the Brook estate had well over 400 acres of land. This means that Gut Brook owned well over 100 hectares of land. Together with the two manors, Melau and Gut Bramstedt, the area has been a lot larger. The exact area is not in writing.
building
The two-storey half - timbered house is T-shaped, the eaves side lies across the street and stands on a solid base. The entrance is in the middle of the broad side behind the five-step sandstone staircase. The upper floor cantilevers on three sides, with a bulge and a fillet that almost completely conceals the beam heads and filler wood. Some windows on the upper floor retained their old, small-scale muntin division. Since the curved hipped roof has to be modernized from time to time, nothing can be seen of the former cover. Today the roof is covered with tiles. The rear of the building was massively renewed, as was the adjoining, elongated economic section, which burned down in 1988.
In the hallway to the right of the entrance there is a spiral wooden staircase with a carved railing and handrail. From the entrance in the left half of the building, on the upper floor, is a knight's hall with a dilapidated stucco ceiling with profiled beams and lavishly depicted fruit ornaments. The emergence of these ornaments in the Baroque style is dated around the early 18th century.
garden
In the garden there is a coat of arms stone (53 × 144 cm) made of sandstone and two stone lions on the round lawn . The coat of arms stone used to be placed above the front door and shows two coats of arms side by side, both with crossed palm corners, above two acorns, below a burning branch, and on the right a branch with three ivy leaves. The two seated lions are also made of sandstone and are badly weathered (height about 60 cm, width about 45 cm). They each carry a broken sign with tendrils. Both coats of arms belong to the von Brandt and von Möller families.
Fruit growing company Gut Brook
The company currently has a cultivation area of 61.3 ha, of which around 40 ha are used for fruit growing. The estate is now in the sixth generation of the Schacht family. Fruit growing has become the focus of cultivation over the years.
