Gut Dudendorf
The Dudendorf estate is located near Bad Sülze , about 37 km east of Rostock in Mecklenburg . The estate includes the village of Dudendorf, which was incorporated into the municipality of Dettmannsdorf on January 1, 2001 . Due to its size of 850 hectares (as of 1990) and structure, the estate is still of particular importance today. Until 1990 it was one of the largest employers in the region with up to 250 employees. The history of the estate clearly shows the changes in agriculture due to industrialization, as well as the social changes from the middle of the 19th century to the present.
The listed manor house
The castle-like two-story manor house stands on a hill as seen from the village. It was built around 1850 in the Tudor Gothic style. The high round tower is striking. The main entrance is in the direction of the village. At the back there is a park with old trees. After 1945 changes were made to the exterior and interior of the manor house. Among other things, the previously open veranda on the left was closed and decorative elements removed from the facade.
Due to its importance, both the "manor house" (Schlossberg 1) and the "residential building" (Schlossberg 2) as well as the "old country road with cobblestone pavement and lime tree avenue" were added to the district monument list.
Structure of the Good (1990)
The estate consists essentially of 500 hectares of arable land and 300 hectares of meadows, paddocks and forest.
To the south of the castle-like manor house there were several stables for cattle and horses as well as two barns next to the farm building, the distillery and the sawmill . To the dorfsee around circular were skating with a total of 50 apartments Kate and the village school.
In 1961/62, two apartment blocks with ten residential units were built, which did not fit into the previous building structure. At peak times, up to 250 people lived in the village, mostly employees of the estate.
To the south of the paddocks and meadows, the Recknitz river forms a natural border of the estate. There is a bridge with a weir that connects to Liepen.
history
1601-1945
From 1601 to 1886 the estate was owned by the von der Lühe and Waitz von Eschen families . At that time the landlords had a patrimonial seal . In doing so, they confirmed all the decisions that were made within the property. Under the Waitz von Eschen family, the dilapidated manor house was replaced by the manor house that still exists today. Some farm buildings and the distillery were also built.
In the years 1852/53 there was a severe cholera epidemic, which led to the loss of almost all workers. As a result, almost the entire crop in the field was spoiled. Paul Andreae (1858–1916), son of Abraham Andreae , was first economic manager of the estate in 1885 and acquired it in 1886 from Waitz von Eschen. 80 percent of the purchase price consisted of the assumption of the old debts. He married Margaret Blohm from Viecheln in 1886 and had three children with her. With Paul Andreae, industrialization moved into the estate. An extensive range of machines was built up under his leadership. Among other things, the distillery was equipped with a new 25 HP steam engine from the Magdeburg-Buckau machine factory and a light railway was installed. It got its own switch on the newly created Bad Sülze – Rostock railway line. In 1913, the field railway was already 3000 m long and was further expanded in the following years.
Together with the landowners Heinrich Ludwig Graf von Bassewitz-Dalwitz and Helmut von Prollius- Stubbendorf , Paul Andreae founded the Rahm-Butterei GmbH in Dettmannsdorf-Kölzow in 1902 . Furthermore, the village school was expanded and a small library was built. The villagers regularly received a free daily newspaper. Permanent employees shared in the profits of the property through a savings agreement. Paul Andreae died in 1916 and his son Brami Andreae (1891–1945) took over the estate.
He successfully continued the industrialization of the estate. He managed to lead Dudendorf safely through the German inflation , the global economic crisis and the difficult conditions of the Second World War . During the war he also took over the management of the neighboring estates of Stubbendorf and Schulenberg on a voluntary basis. Brami Andreae was married to Ilse von Brandenstein (Bad Doberan). He had three children with her. His oldest son was the agricultural scientist Bernd Andreae . Brami Andreae was shot in the manor house on May 1, 1945 after the Red Army marched in. He found his final resting place next to his parents in the nearby Gutswald Blied.
The family was expropriated in 1945 as part of the land reform and driven from their homeland.
1945–1990
After the initial turmoil at the end of the war in 1945, the Dudendorf estate was converted into a state-owned estate . It was not sprawled like many other estates . By June 1958 it lost its prominent position as a model farm due to frequent changes in management and a considerable investment backlog. Only a further change in leadership in 1958 brought the turning point. Thanks to extensive inventions, including in modern milking systems and a new management concept, Dudendorf regained importance. The last line of the VEG was set up in 1981 and led the estate through the complicated process of monetary union and German reunification .
Since 1990
Until 1994 the property was continued under the Treuhand Liegenschaftsgesellschaft . During this time the Andreae family tried to transfer the property back. With the judgment of the Federal Constitutional Court of April 23, 1991 (BVerfGE 84, 90), the expropriations of 1945 were constitutionally declared final. On this basis, the trust sold the property including the village in 1994 to the current owner. The estate has been run as Mayer KG ever since. Substantial investments in a modern cowshed including modern milking systems make high-performance milk production possible. Mayer KG farms 1250 hectares with 2000 cattle, including 800 dairy cows (as of 2008).
The original place Dudendorf with its cottages and other houses lost its meaning. Only a few people still live in the village. There are offices in the manor house.
