Good Dobersdorf
The Good Dobersdorf is located on the banks of Dobersdorfer lake in the town of Dobersdorf in Plön in eastern Schleswig-Holstein . The former aristocratic estate goes back to a moated castle from the Middle Ages , some of the lands are still farmed to the present day. The manor house on Dobersdorf is one of the last late Baroque works in Schleswig-Holstein.
historical overview
The first mention of Dobersdorf can be dated to the year 1340, at that time there was a tower hill castle south of the manor complex , the remains of which can no longer be seen in the area. Around 1475 Dobersdorf went to the Pogwisch family , who founded the actual estate and who owned it, together with the not far away Hagen estate , until the 17th century. The 17th century was marked by numerous changes of ownership. After Hinrich Bertramssohn von Pogwisch, the last of the noble family Pogwisch to live here, died around 1625, Dobersdorf passed one after the other to the noble families Reventlow , Brockdorff and finally to the Rantzau . At the beginning of the 18th century another change followed and around 1705 the estate went to the Blome family , who died out there with Christoph Wulfssohn von Blome in 1814.
Christoph von Blome had today's manor house built in the second half of the 18th century, but due to his fideicommissary order on November 4, 1808, his descendants hardly ever used it. Blome left only daughters behind and apparently did not trust his sons-in-law to manage the estate, so he transferred it to a family foundation and was administered by administrators. The manor house was not regularly inhabited until the end of the 19th century, after Kuno zu Rantzau and his wife Marie, a daughter of Otto von Bismarck , moved into the estate in 1890 . After the death of the last two residents, Marie von Bismarck died in 1927, the mansion was empty again. The farm was maintained until 1932, when the family foundation sold the property. The manor house was used as a hotel at times, while the land that was once more than 2,500 hectares was largely sold and the estate was reduced to around 800 hectares. In 1960 Dobersdorf went to the Burgsdorff family from Brandenburg , who had to give up their possessions in eastern Germany as a result of the events of the post-war period . Among them, the estate was reorganized and the focus was placed on forestry.
Gut Dobersdorf is still privately owned and is usually not open to the public, the manor house can only be viewed from public roads. However, there are regular markets on the estate and some of the outbuildings are rented out as holiday apartments.
Buildings
The mansion
The manor house was built under the Eutin court master builder Georg Greggenhofer from 1770 to 1772 and is considered one of the last large buildings from the Baroque era in the Duchy of Holstein . The castle-like , eleven-axis building has a basement, a main floor and an upper floor and is crowned by a high hipped roof. On the courtyard and garden side, the three central window axes emerge as a risalit from the building, which was built entirely from brick. The interiors of the mansion have partly preserved stucco work of the rococo from. The dining room received ornamental wall paintings by Christian Friedrich Joachim Bünsow , which were uncovered again in 1956. The most important rooms include the vestibule adjoining the outside staircase on the courtyard side and the garden hall behind it, which, like the ballroom on the upper floor above, are emphasized from the outside by the central projection.
The estate and the garden
In front of the manor house is a baroque courtyard, to the north there is a landscape garden. The courtyard area is divided into two parts: a courtyard in front of the manor house and a service courtyard in front of it, but the building stock was decimated by the effects of the war and other circumstances. To the right of the mansion is the so-called inspector's house from 1779, which later served as a gentleman's house . The former cow house east of the farm is a work by Rudolph Matthias Dallin from 1728; the large barn from 1733 stood symmetrically opposite it, which burned down to the walls after a bomb hit in 1944 and was demolished in 1950. The gateway to the complex was formerly the gatehouse of the Preetz master mason Hans Jacob Krentzner from 1766, which had to be demolished in 1968 due to dilapidation. The entrance to the courtyard is now limited by the gate houses.
