Gut Vehr is a former castle and weir system on the north-western outskirts of Quakenbrück and is now part of the urban area together with the Hengelage district. Thanks to the swing golf course , the estate is known throughout Germany among those who practice this sport.

Mentioned as early as the 13th century, Gut Vehr initially served as a castle and fortification and was later used as a fortified courtyard surrounded by a moat. In 1522 the von Schmerten family owned the estate, and in 1540 it came to von Grothaus through marriage . Around 1650 it came to the von Frydag (Daren) family through the von Kobrinck ( Daren ) and von Schade ( Ihorst ) families . 1783 bought it from Elmendorff . From 1876 to 1929 it was owned by Freiherr von Schorlemer , the father of Clemens Freiherr von Schorlemer-Lieser , who expressed his ties to the town of Quakenbrück on May 29, 1916 by donating the "Iron Burgman", with whose " Nagelung “Donations of money should be made for the burden of war. Schorlemer's father had the new Gut Vehr manor built in 1877, which is located a little away from the extensive agricultural buildings in a park-like forest area.

In 1926 Johann Wilhelm Welker from Duisburg bought the estate. From 1929 to 1936 it was completely rebuilt and received its current shape. This is how the larger courtyard was created in its present form. The granary, part of the east wing of the courtyard, was used as a grain store and later for seed grain processing. The property was inherited within the family and is still in their possession today. Gut Vehr is united with Gut Groß-Arkenstedt.

The Hengelage is practically the same as Gut Vehr, because the settlement was built on their land. The forest and the rest of the area still belong to the estate. Today it borders the Quakenbrücker urban area in a north-westerly direction; until the Lower Saxony regional reform in 1972, Hengelage (like the Groß-Arkenstedt estate today) belonged to the municipality of Essen / Oldenburg in the district of Cloppenburg .

The avenue branching off from Bundesstraße 68 , which leads to Gut Vehr, is part of the “Art Tour”, a cycle path leading through northern Artland , on the edge of which a total of twelve paintings are set up that reproduce the landscape outside the picture that is visible to the viewer.
