history

The Schwarzbach estate was first mentioned with the place in 1455. The estate was a fief of the von Gersdorff family . It was later sold to the Hoym family . The current building was built in 1727, this can be proven by building bills for bricklayers and carpenters. The foundation walls of the previous building were probably included in the construction. The Guteborn-Schwarzbach line of the Hoyms had its headquarters in neighboring Guteborn . Therefore, the manor building was not designed as the main residence.

At the end of the 19th century the manor house was rebuilt. A spacious staircase and tiled stoves were built in. In this context, the attic was also expanded for the staff.

The last private owner was Prince Ullrich von Schönburg-Waldenburg between 1909 and the expropriation after the Second World War . A grave site for members of the family is in the cemetery in Guteborn. After the Second World War, refugees and a kindergarten were housed in the main building. Apartments were built later, but larger rooms on the ground floor and upstairs were divided with partition walls. At the beginning of the 1990s, the state of construction deteriorated considerably as the foundation settled. From 1995 the main building was empty. The kindergarten had to be closed at the end of the 1990s. It was reopened in 2003 in one of the outbuildings under private ownership. In 2002 the main building was sold.

In the course of the renovation, the partition walls that were drawn in were removed and the painting on the upper floor is to be restored. The new owner opens the house annually on the day of the open monument . The Schwarzbach association ARENUM supports the renovation. In agreement with the owner, the Ruhland office plans to use the Biedermeier salon for marriages by the registry office.

Building description

The manor house is two-story with a floor area of ​​300 square meters, 23 by 13 meters. The facade is seven meters high, the entire building 15 meters. The main front of the cuboid building is structured with seven window axes. The building is almost south-facing.

The floor plan is divided into six areas. Three each lie north and south of the ridge line , separated by massive walls. This basic division is broken through in the attic. A wooden staircase with a curved handrail leads from the north-western corner of the entrance hall over a platform to the upper floor. The windows were reconstructed using historical images. There were cross-floor windows with glass dividing sprouts used on the ground and in the attic with six grant and upstairs with eight grant.

On the ground floor there was the utility area with cellar-like rooms, kitchen and storage rooms.

The upper floor was the residential floor . The rooms on the upper floor are 3.8 meters high and have tiled stoves. The windows of these salon-like rooms are located in arched niches. The walls were decorated with simple paintwork and roller patterns. The base area was marbled blue-gray and separated from the light wall surfaces by a wine-red line. In the south front there are three large rooms with representative proportions. They form a coherent suite of rooms via double doors. The hallway of the stairwell runs in the middle north of the central wall of the house. To the west is the hunting room or gentleman's room with dark stained ceiling beams.

The attic was expanded for servants in the 19th century. The architectural decoration is based on the decorative elements of the stairwell. Doors, tiled stoves and painting are kept sparing. The seven rooms are illuminated by dormer windows. The floors are made of wooden planks. The plastered walls and sloping ceilings are decorated with roller patterns from the early 20th century.
