Gut Rothenburg
Gut Rothenburg is a former manor between Daseburg and Warburg , southeast of Desenberg at Klingenburger Straße 50.
history
In the Middle Ages, the estate belonged to the Lords of Spiegel zum Desenberg and served to supply the castle team on the Desenberg.
In 1588, the four branches of the family based on the knights' seats in Rothenburg, Klingenburg , Übelgönne and Bühne agreed to mutually use each other as inheritance when a line in the male line died out. As a result, all four estates remained in the possession of the von Spiegel family until modern times. By 1860 the Rothenburg had a size of 651 acres . In 1877 the owner of Gut Rothenburg, Werner Friedrich Julius Stephan von Spiegel, died without male descendants. The person from the extensive von Spiegel family was to receive the property who was able to kindle the fire that had gone out first. This was achieved by a descendant of the von Spiegel zu Werna family on the Harz . This led to a dispute in the family, so that in 1891 the Fideikommiß had to be dissolved and Rothenburg had to be sold.
In 1895, the Hanoverian banker Moritz Oppenheimer bought the estate from the barons of Spiegel-Peckelsheim. In 1896 he sold the estate to Heinrich Konerding, a farmer from near Hanover. He had the old mansion torn down and replaced by a new villa in the Wilhelminian style. Today it is managed by his descendant Christoph Konerding.
