history
Wellingsbüttel is said to have initially been owned by the von Hadeln. 1391: it was the coolness of, first as originally Vogthof the bailiff . In 1484 the first fief of a von Kuhle with Wellingsbüttel as a man fief is documented. In 1670 the estate went bankrupt and under ducal administration. The youngest daughter of the last von Kuhle on Wellingsbüttel, Margaretha Catharine von Kuhle, married Jürgen Ewert von Klenck († 1708).
In 1689, Julius Franz von Sachsen-Lauenburg, the dukes of Lauenburg, died out. The land of Hadeln , in which Wellingsbüttel is located, came under imperial administration. Wellingsbüttel was occupied by the imperial commissioner von Reichenbach. He made a settlement with the three heiresses of Kuhle that made him the owner of the estate. In 1699, after legal disputes, the heirs of Reichenbach's Wellingsbüttel transferred to the son of Jürgen Ewert von Klenck, Lieutenant Colonel Johann Friedrich von Klenck († 1729), without he succeeding in becoming the legal owner. It was not until 1749 that his son, the captain Georg Eberhard von Klenck, succeeded in receiving the loan from Wellingsbüttel. In 1816, Major Franz August von Klenck († 1866) was enfeoffed with Wellingsbüttel, who succeeded in getting the feudal property revoked in 1840. In 1862 he set up a Fideikommiß , the first owner of which was his son, the Secret Finance Councilor Ditmar von Klenck († 1891). Franz August von Klenck is said to have saved the general treasury of the Kingdom of Hanover for King George V during the conquest by Prussia in 1866 by fleeing to London with 22 million thalers.
Ditmar von Klenck became the free owner of Wellingsbüttel in 1930 through the dissolution of the Fideikommisse and immediately sold it to the Hadeln district settlement GmbH for the creation of pension assets. The division could not be implemented due to economic difficulties. The property was leased in two parts. In 1936 the bankruptcy of Gut Wellingsbüttel had to be opened again. At that time the estate was 120 hectares in size. In 1936 the farmer Theodor Grodtmann acquired the property from the town of Otterndorf, whose heirs are still in the possession of Wellingsbüttel and manage it today.
Wellingsbüttel was not listed in the knightly register because the land of Hadeln did not belong to the Duchy of Bremen . No entry was made during the Hanoverian period either. The owners of Wellingsbüttel were therefore not members of the Bremen knighthood .
