Good Lübrassen

The Lübrassen Estate (also Lübrassen Castle) is a listed former manor at Müllerweg 26 in Bielefeld . The first mention of the estate goes back to 974. It is therefore the oldest documented farm in the Heepen district .

history

The first documentary mention of the estate dates back to May 13, 974. At that time, Emperor Otto II handed over the court and its lands to the abbess of the church in Schildesche .

Later, the lords of the estate were considered to be secular landlords, to whom the surrounding peasants paid interest. In 1335 the estate was sold by Count von Ravensburg to the Schildesche monastery. In 1652 the estate came into the possession of the Count of the Sparrenberg Office , Joachim von Grest, who acquired it from the Abbess of Herford .

Since then the Lübrassen estate has had the status of a noble estate . The lords had the Lübrasser Priechen in the Heeper Peter and Paul Church - a raised special seat with a separate entrance from the outside. In 1701 the von Grest family donated an organ prospectus and a new organ to the Peter and Paul Church.

After several changes of ownership in the 18th century, the estate came into the possession of the von Ditfurth family in 1790 , who built the so-called Lübrasser Castle around 1800 . Two district administrators from the Bielefeld district come from the von Ditfurth family . Until 1930 the estate was owned by the von Ditfurths.

Location of the buildings

The estate is surrounded by water. To the east runs the Oldentruper Bach, which is dammed up to the oil pond to the south of Gutes , to the west there is a flood of mills, which is dammed up to a flood of mills in the northwest.

The manor house and stables date from the early 19th century, when the von Ditfurth family took over the estate. Both buildings were connected in 1895 by a gatehouse with a roof turret and a Welscher hood . A stone bridge over the mill flood has also been preserved.

The manor park was probably built after or around 1895, possibly in connection with the gatehouse.
