Gut Hodenberg is a historic estate with a park in Bremen - Oberneuland , which is owned by a foundation.

history

1113 of the settlement to the beginning and in Oberneuland, as was Dutch on behalf of Archbishop Friedrich of Bremen , the cultivation of the later Hollerland said region first names. The estate was first mentioned in 1149, while Oberneuland was first mentioned as Overnigelant in 1181. The manor house, surrounded by a moat, was a noble residence. The first owner is said to have been the von Hodenberg family, who were expelled from their castle near Hoya at that time and were in the service of the archbishop.

The name Hodenberg was first mentioned in 1421, when the noble von der Hellen family  - also called Monik - followers of the archbishop lived here until 1470. The estate remained with the Clüver family until 1608. About 20 farmers lived with their Meierhöfe around Hodenberg. The farmers had to pay taxes to the Hodenberger landlord.

In 1609, Bremen's mayor Diedrich Hoyer the Younger bought the estate. He had a new manor built on the country estate. Various owners of the Vorwerk followed as pastors, lawyers and merchants , until the merchant and consul for Great Britain Hermann Heymann acquired the property and had a new manor house built in 1787. The core of this building has been preserved.

In 1810 Friedrich Engelken (1744–1815) bought the property and set up a psychiatric clinic there. The insane asylum , then known as this, existed until 1863.

The shipbuilder, shipowner and rice merchant Robert Rickmers acquired the property, which remained in the property of the Rickmers family from 1897 to 1948. The colors of Heligoland green-white-red - Rickmers had also grown up here - now determined the color scheme of the house. His wife had an open-air theater set up. The estate was a meeting place for many artists and merchants who praised the Rickmers wine cellar. Ernst Müller-Scheeßel , Th. Hermann, Albert Ritterhoff and Heinrich Vogeler worked here. In 1936 Rickmers converted the house into the Der Hodenberg Foundation , which after Rickmers death in 1948 became a foundation for the care of Lower Saxony's love of home.
