Dahlewitz manor house
The manor house Dahlewitz (official name in the state monument list Gutsanlage, with manor house, distillery, water tower and manor park ) is a listed manor house in Dahlewitz , a district of the municipality of Blankenfelde-Mahlow in the district of Teltow-Fläming in the state of Brandenburg .
location
From the northwest, the Dahlewitzer Dorfstraße leads in a southeast direction through the village. The estate is located in the historic center of the village and there to the east of this road connection.
history
The manor house was probably built around 1800. However, it is conceivable that the building was built on a previous building: In the village church of Dahlewitz , a stone with an inscription on a manor house that refers to the year 1689 is built. This could mean the start of construction, completion or another important construction phase. The stone also shows the coat of arms of those von Otterstedt, who owned the estate from 1522 to 1785. The construction, however, shows that the building does not date from the 17th century. However, the manor stands on a historically older cellar vault that is still there in the 21st century. The estate went to Carl Magnus von Zülow auf Clemzig in 1785 . A brewery, a starch factory and a brickworks were built at his behest. It was thanks to his skillful management that the property increased in value considerably. His heirs, however, could not prevent bankruptcy. In 1810 the estate was even offered as the main prize in a goods lottery and came into civil ownership. After a few changes, a lawyer Samson from 1830 and the Berlin wholesaler Alois Gilka from 1850 are known as the owner. He sold it in 1856 to the bailiff Engelhart, through whom it came to a Herr von Unruh between 1865 and 1870.
In 1896 the architect Wilhelm Böckmann finally acquired the estate. In the same year, he had the interior rebuilt and the exterior expanded with an octagonal, tower-like pavilion. On either side of the original building there was a lower residential wing. The simple plastered facades were replaced in favor of a more complex facade structure with pilaster strips . In 1897 a water tower with a capacity of around 20,000 liters was added. This enabled Böckmann to irrigate the park and the agricultural areas. The tower, which can be seen from afar, was added to the municipality's coat of arms at a later date. In the same year an electrically operated manor railway was also built , which had a connection to the Berlin – Dresden railway line . In the period between 1886 and 1900 a distillery was built, next to it a warehouse, a wheelwright and a Swiss house . Böckmann had the buildings arranged so that they formed a four-sided courtyard .
During the Second World War , the transverse structures parallel to the manor house were destroyed by bombs in 1943. The Swiss house and the gardener's house were also affected. The ruins were later demolished. In the time of the SMAD , the building served the Soviet administrator, later as a machine rental station , which was converted into a machine-tractor station. Workshops and garages were built in the stables, while the tractor drivers were housed in the manor house. The 634 hectares of agricultural land were expropriated and 518 hectares redistributed.
After the fall of the Wall , the building came into private ownership. In 1994 the new owner reconstructed the tower dome of the water tower; further work could not be carried out due to lack of financial means. In 2001 there was a fire in the manor house, in which the building was badly damaged. Since that time it has been in ruins in the village and is in ruins. In 2019, plans were announced by an investor who wants to restore the manor house and the outbuildings in order to create living space in them.
Building description
The main house consists of a seven-axis , two-storey building, the facade of which is structured with pilaster strips. It has a hipped roof . This is followed by two lower, single-storey extensions to the north and south. The water tower protrudes from a single-storey building with a gable roof . It is octagonal; its corners built of reddish bricks . A hood rises above it, which ends with a tower ball . The functional buildings like the distillery are of simple architecture.
Manor park
Presumably around 1869, a park was created around the estate, which was irrigated after 1897 by the water tower. The original plan was to build a new manor house in the eastern area. This would have led to the approach towards Groß Kienitz ; however, the plans were not implemented. After the land reform , homesteads for new farmers and two smaller gardeners were built in the western area. The park was opened to the public in 1949. However, it was probably not adequately maintained and came under the responsibility of the forest administration as early as 1956. In 1988, an association was founded to help restore the park. With funds from compensatory measures for the construction of Berlin Brandenburg Airport , a renovation was carried out in 2009/2010. In the 21st century, the remains of an avenue consisting of linden trees are still preserved in the northern area. There are also some oaks and a red beech. The park was opened to the public again on July 29, 2011.
