history

Like Schwechow and Pritzier, Quassel was a fief of the von Lützow family . The von Lützow family belongs to the Mecklenburg nobility.

Around 1721 the estate passed to the imperial chamberlain, Count Eckstedt von Peterswaldt, who came from Silesia; the family had sat on Pritzier since 1694. The von Peterswaldt sold the estate in 1755 to the bailiff Moritz Paepcke. The von Paepcke were inherited in the Klützer Winkel with the estates Lütgenhof , Hansdorf , Prieschendorf and Dassow and were ennobled in 1839. The painter Elisabeth von Eicken married into the Paepcke family in 1897 and from 1895 produced several oil paintings of Gut Quassel, including the park and outdoor facilities. The Paepckes stayed until 1901, after which Quassel went to Egbert von Meding. In 1902 Gustav Aufschläger bought the estate. After his death, the margarine manufacturer Fritz Homann ( Homann Feinkost ) from Dissen in the Teutoburg Forest was the owner of the estate from 1934 .

From 9th to 21st In April 1945 the command post of the Reich Luftflotte was quartered in the Quassel manor under the command of Colonel General Hans-Jürgen Stumpff .

In 1945 Quassel was expropriated. After the land reform , the farm was run by an agricultural production cooperative (LPG). At times, the manor building was used as the SED party school , the chatterbox school . Later it was the agricultural school of the Hagenow district.

manor

In 1857 the von Paepke family had the manor house built as a half-timbered building. The manor house was rebuilt in 1886 by the Hamburg architect Martin Haller and received a facade in neo-Gothic style. The building is two-storey and has short side wings on the simpler rear. The front facade is divided into 13 axes, above the windows there are pointed arches.

After the reunification, only the fireplace in the hall on the ground floor and the floors decorated with inlays remained of the original furnishings . The manor house showed considerable structural damage, so the upper part of the central projection was in danger of collapsing and the tops of the towers were no longer there.

In 1998 a designer from Mecklenburg and her husband, a painter, sculptor and designer from Cochem on the Moselle, bought the former manor house and renovated it. The owner himself made the missing small towers from sandstone. The couple's son, an IT entrepreneur, uses the upper floor of the building as the company headquarters.

Park

Since 1987, Park of Gutsanlage a protected park. It is open to the public. There is a round lawn in front of the manor house.
