Good Gelting
Gut Gelting , often referred to as Castle Gelting , is an old manor in Gelting in fishing . The three-wing complex with a courtyard is surrounded by a medieval moat and rampart and four bastions. It is privately owned by the von Hobe-Gelting family and cannot be visited. Gut Gelting has also had a chapel since 1925; the altar is in the historic tower, the actual chapel rooms in the east wing of the complex.
history
Until 1758
The estate had been in the possession of the Danish king since 1231 at the latest; in the Liber census Daniae , a tax registration document that lists the possessions and income of King Waldemar II Sejr , it is mentioned as "Gyælting".
The estate later came into the possession of various noble families: in 1494, the knight Hans von Ahlefeldt received the Haseldorfer Marsch , Haseldorf Castle , the five associated parishes and Gelting together with the associated villages and some free float in exchange for other areas . At that time, today's east wing of the complex with the round tower was already standing.
Under the rule of the Ahlefeldts , the west wing of the manor was built in the 17th century. Relatively soon afterwards, the estate went bankrupt; In 1712 it was to be auctioned in Eckernförde . A relative of the previous owners, Magnus von Wedderkop , stepped in and saved the property from this fate; but after inheritance disputes had arisen, Gut Gelting returned to the possession of the Danish crown. The attempt by the royal family to sell the property in parcels failed.
From 1758
After stables and barns had been renewed or renovated and a new gatehouse had been built in 1754, the estate was apparently easier to sell:
In 1758 the merchant Sönke Ingwersen bought the property. In the following year Ingwersen was raised to the nobility by the Danish King Friedrich V and was henceforth allowed to call himself "Baron von Geltingen". He converted his first name to "Seneca". In 1777 he was awarded the imperial nobility in Vienna. This first Baron von Geltingen had acquired his fortune from the East India Company and now used it to expand the courtyard and to redesign the manor house in the Dutch manner. The two-storey central building of the palace, covered by a hipped roof, was built around 1770 . Furthermore, the new owner bought his own theater, in which shepherd games etc. were listed. This “comedy house” was not used for long and was eventually torn down.
Ingwersen hired Johann Caspar Bechstedt , among others , who worked for him from 1775 to 1780 and converted the property into a French garden . Bechstedt laid part of the garden symmetrically around an axis that was formed by a canal. Another part he equipped with numerous winding paths. "Summer House" and "Cascade" were two of the gardens' ornaments; On the other hand, there were also kitchen and kitchen gardens and a “ melonery” on the property.
In the manor house, the owner's interest in horticulture was reflected, among other things, in the motifs of the stucco decorations that Francesco Antonio and Michel Angelo Taddei created for the ballroom. The theme of kitchen gardening is illustrated by the watering can, pumpkin, hoe and spade, while pleasure gardening appears in the form of asparagus, flowers and pruning shears. The Chinese cabinet was furnished with wallpaper around 1760, which shows plant and animal motifs on a light blue background. This wallpaper - made in Europe - was restored in 1888 and again in the 1990s; Moisture damage and the infestation with silverfish made this necessary.
After his father, the first Baron von Geltingen, died, Christian Friedrich Rudolph von Geltingen took over the complex; The design of the garden was completed under his aegis. Christian Friedrich Rudolph von Geltingen died in 1820. The property now passed to his nephew Levin Ludwig Christian Leopold von Hobe , the son of his sister Adriana Sebranda and the bailiff Andreas August von Hobe . In 1821 he was given the title of Danish baron and was now called Levin Ludwig Leopold von Hobe Freiherr von Gelting. In 1812 he converted to the Catholic faith. The baron status was confirmed to his son Siegfried (1816–1877) in Prussia by a rescript of the heraldry on October 30, 1875. The Gelting estate was then inherited by his son Bertram (1849–1911), papal secret chamberlain and magistral knight of the sovereign Order of Knights of Malta. He rebuilt the east wing to make it homely and restored the central building around 1900. Bertram v. Hobe acquired two aristocratic estates from Gelting, Düttebüll, which was first given to the eldest son Siegfried († 1944), and Ohrfeld, which the second son, Bertram († 1961), received.
The third baron and the two subsequent generations gradually converted the gardens into a landscape garden . Among other things, they added a small pond in the eastern part of the garden and had some solitary trees planted. Baron Siegfried made sure that the house received a Catholic chapel; The architect Bachmann from Berlin was commissioned with the construction. His successor again had the first name Bertram; he died in 1988 and in turn left the estate to a son named Siegfried. These last two owners took care of several renovations of the house, with the front facade being refreshed in the 1950s and the interior in 1972. In 1970 the entire complex was entered in the monument book. Gut Gelting is still owned by the von Hobe family, barons of Gelting.

- ↑ Johann Siebmacher does not name Levin Ludwig Leopold von Hobe as the first Baron von Hobe-Gelting, but the Danish Rittmeister Siegfried Lambert Carl von Hobe, who became Baron von Hobe-Gelting on May 14, 1828. According to this source, it was also the consort of the heiress, cf. J. Siebmacher's large and general book of arms , 3rd volume, 3rd section, edited by Max Gritzner, Nuremberg 1871, p. 15. On www.meinevorfahren.de, however, Levin von Hobe is again shown as the first Baron Hobe-Geltingen, who only received this title in 1828.
