Good Saxtorf

Gut Saxtorf with a manor house from the 17th century on the Schwansen peninsula in Schleswig-Holstein

Gut Saxtorf ( Danish Sakstrup , also Sakstorp ) is first mentioned in documents from 1476 and 1499. The name is probably borrowed from the Danish Sakstorp , as the region was inhabited by Danish people and was under Danish rule for centuries. Gut Saxtorf is located in the settlement of the same name, which before 1864 was superordinate to the regionally close Gutsdörfern und Hufen . The affiliations were reorganized after the Peace of Vienna by Prussia from 1865. Saxtorf has belonged to the Rieseby community in the Schwansen region since 1928 ; The Schwansen region is sometimes also referred to as the Schwansen peninsula, which is located south of the Schlei . In earlier centuries, the Saxtorf settlement consisted of the Gutsdörfer Basdorf, Loose and Norby as well as the Meierhöfe Hörst, Raßmark and Rögen as well as the Meierhof Ilewitt until 1799.

Acquis

The property in Saxtorf, also known as Saxtorff or Saxstorp (1649), was always in changing ownership, mostly owned by noble families such as those of Ahlefeldt , von Brockdorff or von Rantzau ; The extent to which the respective rulers resided at Gut Saxtorf cannot be fully understood. However, due to the marriages of sons on the one hand and various daughters of the noble families von Ahlefeld, Blome , Brockdorff, Buchwald, Rantzau and Wohnsfleth on the other hand, there were family ties that make the (following) change of ownership of the property understandable.

Before Gut Saxtorf was acquired by the von Blome family in 1494, it was owned by the von Wohnsfleth aristocratic family, and later on Gut Krieseby. Ownership quickly changed to the von Ahlefeld family, who kept the property from 1500 to 1566. The construction of the former manor building was started in 1648 by Kay von Ahlefeldt (1591–1670, also Cai vA), who owned several estates and estates as well as Gut Stubbe, and was completed in the 17th century by the von Ahlefeld and von Blome families. Due to marriage, the estate came into the possession of the von Rantzau family who owned the land until 1633, when the estate returned to the von Ahlefeld family through marriage.

Another change of ownership took place in 1691 to the Conference Councilor von Brockdorff, until it fell back to the previous ownership of Ahlefeldt from his son in 1748, after which Carl Friedrich Georg von Ahlefeldt (born May 8, 1799 in Saxtorf) was the last until his death on October 20, 1862 noble owners who ruled the farm. Thereafter, the property came into changing bourgeois ownership until it was acquired by the Hoff family in 1918, as a descendant and current owner of Gut Saxtorf explained about the history.

Gut Saxtorf is a noble estate , a name under which noble estates were once listed in the duchies of Schleswig and Holstein. In the years from 1867 to 1871, the Prussian administration and the founding of the Reich, the rights and tasks associated with such goods ceased to exist due to the transition to the new, Prussian-influenced state structures.

17th century

In the 17th century it was the first well-known manor building in the baroque style and half-timbered structure, construction of which began in 1648. Some details are said to have renaissance characteristics. Much about it is no longer comprehensible, because the original building fell victim to a fire on December 26, 1847, which destroyed the house to the ground.

18th century

In 1799, the abolition of serfdom on Gut Saxtorf happened just in this time frame . The repeal for Saxtorf goes back to the Danish governor in the Duchy of Schleswig Carl von Hessen-Kassel (1744–1836), who from 1790 decreed such repeal of the serfdom of the population on estates and in manor villages in the duchy.

19th century mansion

The reconstruction of today's mansion from 1850 on the remaining foundation walls was completed in 1852 and shows a red, symmetrical residential building. The neo-Gothic building adjacent to a moat, which can be attributed to brick Gothic , was built according to plans by the architect and art collector Friedrich Stammann (1807–1880), who after the Hamburg fire in 1842 during the reconstruction of Hamburg had a good reputation alongside the architects Semper and Lindley acquired.

The reconstruction of the Saxtorfer manor house is a three-wing, two-storey building with a mezzanine floor on 1,000 square meters of built-up area. The side wings have stepped gables on the courtyard side , which from the upper edge of the upper floor received a distinctly fial-looking finish. In the wing side view, the number of 27 rooms in the entire building complex can already be foreseen, which can also be seen in the 80 double-wing windows with skylights. In the frontal view of the courtyard from a distance over the very flat courtyard, however, the large side wing dimensions are not immediately recognizable. In the inner courtyard, a seven-step, simple staircase leads to the rather simple entrance door. The whole thing is dominated by an approx. 4-storey masonry tower that was placed on the garden side behind the building; Above is the tower platform with a stone railing and head-high pinnacles at the four corners.

The ensemble of main building, side wings and tower corresponds to a typical North German manor house (here in clinker brick construction). The mansion is not open to visitors, but it has an impressive original interior from the 19th century .

Manor complex

The agriculturally operated estate is economically geared towards pure arable farming. At the beginning of the 20th century there was at least a small animal husbandry (chickens), with which the surrounding area was supplied. Today the estate extends over a total area of ​​over 400 hectares, of which alone

  • approx. 250 hectares of arable land and grassland
  • approx. 15 hectares of forest

In the 17th century the area of ​​Gut Saxtorf was over 3,000 hectares, in the 19th century it was still 600 hectares. From the local road “Saxtorf” the access road “Gut Saxtorf” leads about 170 m to the manor house; parallel to this access road, there are two large agricultural warehouses and utility buildings on the right and left. In the 17th and 18th centuries there was a chapel on Gut Saxtorf, where civil marriages also took place. Immediately to the courtyard complex with garden side is an old tree population of about nine hectares.

Cultural monuments

The State Office for the Preservation of Monuments lists in the list of monuments Rendsburg-Eckernförde under no. 872 the structure of the manor Gut Saxtorf and under no. 873 the building of a warehouse as protected monuments.

Population figures from the 19th to the 21st century

In 1840 there were 1,237 inhabitants in Saxtorf alone compared to Rieseby around 1875 with only 50 inhabitants, on the other hand the figures for the central municipality Rieseby in 1987 are 1,931 inhabitants and as of September 30, 2019 to 2,714 inhabitants
