Good country calm
Gut Landruhe is a former property with manor house and park Am Rüten No. 2-4 in Bremen - Horn-Lehe (Lehesterdeich), right on the border with Oberneuland . It has been a listed building since 1973 .
history
The oldest record of an estate at this point comes from the 13th century, when it belonged to the Lilienthal monastery as Gut zum Schorf with the neighboring Deeveskamp . It was a so-called "Geerengut", a piece of land on the corner of a field mark that was created during the elder colonization of the swampy Bremen area in the Middle Ages. Like other Geerengüter in the area (e.g. Gut Hodenberg or Gut Riensberg ), the property was apparently originally fortified and surrounded by a moat. In the immediate vicinity, on the border of the four historic communities Horn , Lehe , Rockwinkel and Oberneuland , was on Grüner Weg (today Am Rüten ) under a group of oak trees, the court of the Bremen Gohes Hollerland called Uppe Angst .
The property was sold to the Barkey family from the Lilienthal monastery. Around 1660 they had a new half-timbered manor house built on the site . When the last owner of the Barkey family, Eltermann Bernd Barkey, died in 1728 without an heir, the property came to the preacher of the St. Ansgarii Church, Johann Arnold Schumacher. After his death it went to his nephew, the Bremen postmaster and Oldenburg councilor, Dr. Albert Schumacher about. In 1795 his widow Sophie Adelheid Maria Schumacher sold the estate to the merchant and captain Carl Philipp Cassel for 7,000 thalers . Cassel had the old manor house from the 17th century torn down and the Bremen architect Joachim Andreas Deetjen built a new manor house in the classicist style, which he called “rest in the country”. Cassel also had the park of Gut Landruhe laid out. Special, still preserved individual components of the property are a Lower Saxony Meierhof with thatched roof , the double gate system, a Thalia sculpture - which is supposed to represent Cassel's lover, an actor at the Bremen City Theater - and a cast-iron, decorated bridge that was previously in the Park of Gut Holdheim had stood.
After Carl Philipp Cassel's death in 1807, the property passed to his business partner Johann Adam Traub, whose older brother was married to Cassel's sister Charlotte. He lived in the estate until 1822, after which it was leased for a few years before the merchant Caspar Gottlieb Kulenkampff bought it for 15,000 Reichstaler in 1836. Around 1840 a small orangery in the historicizing Tudor style was built on the property, which is still preserved today . The building had what is known as "Chinese heating" (tubes under the windows). In the summer, the orangery was used as a classroom for Sunday school, which Emmy Kulenkampff set up here for children from Rockwinkel and Oberneuland.
Around 1900, the young Heinrich Vogeler worked on the redesign of the staircase and the veranda of the manor house on behalf of the Kulenkampff family - a vignette from this time has also come down to us showing Gut Landruhe . After 1923 the estate passed to the Menke family, relatives of the Kulenkampffs. In 1985, scenes from the film adaptation of Marga Berck's letter novel Sommer in Lesmona were filmed at Gut Landruhe . At the end of the 1990s, the manor house was taken over by the Bremer Landesbank , renovated and converted into a conference venue. To finance the measures, parts of the property were sold for residential construction.
After Bremer Landesbank was dissolved in 2017, the property belonged to Norddeutsche Landesbank (NordLB). At the beginning of 2020, NordLB sold the country house to Marco Fuchs , CEO of the space company OHB .
