history

After 1807, large parts of Wusterhausen's rule were re-leased. The neighboring Pramsdorf and the Groß Machnow estate came into the possession of Jean Simeon Coste, a Huguenot family who probably immigrated in 1685 . In 1815 he had the Gilly School built in the manor house in the classical style . His heirs sold the estate including Pramsdorf for 140,000 thalers to the landowner Hermann Ludwig Berend. The estate came into the possession of the von Schierstedt family via other owners .

After the Second World War , the building was used by the Soviet administration to supply soldiers. In 1950 it was taken over by VEG Groß Machnow. The middle section of the house collapsed after the Second World War, but was rebuilt in 1956. In 1972 the plant production of the VEG was combined with the surrounding LPGs and operated as the Cooperative Plant Production Department (KAP). The LPG Groß Machnow emerged from the KAP in 1978. The farm buildings were used by VEG Siethen until the KAP Groß Machnow took over the manor house and the park in 1975. The chairman of the KAP, Hans-Joachim Kölling, advocated the renovation of the building. A cultural center with a restaurant and café was created; a registry office moved into the upper floor. In 1987, the painter Ronald Paris installed a ceiling painting in the oval garden room of the building that is supposed to represent a peasant carnival.

After the fall of the Wall , the property was taken over by the Groß Machnow e. G. continued. She ran a Salve restaurant in the manor house , which closed in 1992/1993 after the BVS asked for the manor house to be returned. After a few years of vacancy, Prinz Hohenlohe Jagstberg & Banghard GmbH acquired the site and had the manor barn torn down in November 2001. Under the new owners, the farm building was rebuilt in 2006 and the Rangsdorf primary school moved in. After further renovation work in 2010 and 2011, the elementary school uses the hall of the manor house as an auditorium. Other rooms are used by the community as a library, school canteen and registry office. The plan is to restore the 2.7  hectare manor park.

Building description

Groß Machnow manor house

The building is a single-storey , nine-axis building made of masonry stones on a high base , which was then plastered . Hiltrud and Carsten Preuß describe it in their work Die Guts- und Herrenhäuser im Landkreis Teltow-Fläming as a “typical Brandenburg manor”. In the basement there are small, transversely rectangular windows. Above it are several cornices and, on the ground floor, tall rectangular windows decorated with plaster ashlars. On the courtyard side is an outside staircase that leads to a gate. It is framed by two pilasters , above which there is the golden lettering " SALVE " (be healthy, be healthy). The two outer axes of the structure were pulled slightly forward. This style element was not used on the garden side. Here, however, there is also a flight of stairs in the middle with a gate, above it a central projectile with a thermal bath window . The building has a half-hip roof with bat dormers . On the ground floor there is an oval garden room, around which other rooms are grouped. The room is decorated with a ceiling painting by Ronald Paris from 1987. The utility rooms and a kitchen were housed in the basement; on the upper floor presumably the servants' apartments.

Opposite the manor is a clock tower from 1885. The three-story plastered building has an arcade floor with a tent roof . According to some dendrochronological investigations, the surrounding U-shaped farm buildings were partly built in the early 18th century. However, some were changed in 1956, while others were rebuilt. In the eastern part there used to be a forester's apartment, a horse stable, a carriage shed and reapers' quarters . Adjacent to the western part is a residential building, some of which were cut in the 17th century. There was a distillery west of the clock tower.
