history
The Stolpe Monastery was secularized in 1534 and came into the possession of the Dukes of Pommern-Wolgast , who set up the Stolpe Office here. During the Thirty Years' War , the former monastery was damaged by fire and looting. Imperial troops had holed up there and were shot at by the Swedish army. In 1648 Stolpe came to Sweden and in 1720 to Prussia.
In 1720 Gut Stolpe became the personal domain of the Prussian “soldier king” Friedrich Wilhelm I. His great-grandson Friedrich Wilhelm III. sold Stolpe in 1807 to the state as its domain. Until 1852 the property was leased to the tenant Müller. In 1852 it was sold to the von Bülow family , who then had the manor house built. It served as the home of the landlords or the tenants or administrators. It is a single-storey plastered building on a field stone base and has a broad central risalit that is gabled. It has a low north side annex made of field stone. There is a structural connection to the storage tank on the right. An early Gothic gable on the southern side wing could still come from the time of the monastery.
In 1865 the Stolper Gut had 8 residential and 11 farm buildings, as well as 1 windmill. 182 inhabitants lived there, consisting of 1 inspector, servants and 30 day laborers, as well as their families. In the same year Stolpe-Dorf had 1 branch church in Medow, 1 schoolhouse, 1 windmill, 1 forge, 1 jug, as well as 10 residential and 12 farm buildings. It also had 93 inhabitants, including 2 farmers, 6 Büdner and 8 day laborers with their respective families.
The Low German poet Fritz Reuter was a frequent guest in Stolpe from 1853 to 1863. Here he wrote an essay on the "Agricultural thing" and in August 1856 the well-known novel "No Hüsung". In 1860, the ruins of the monastery inspired him to write the “prehistory of Meckelnbörg”. In this work, he set a literary monument to Inspector Knitschky and the maidservant Caroline Neukirch. They are still remembered today by the cast iron grave crosses in the Stolper cemetery. Reuter lived in the northern (left) extension of the manor house, hence the name Reuteranbau to this day .
The property was little used by the Bülows themselves. Most of it was leased out or managed by inspectors. B. Leaseholder Fritz Peters , a friend of Fritz Reuter from 1853 to 1880. When Hans von Bülow's wife Sophie, b. Baroness von Maltzan , who died, adopted her niece Ursula von Maltzan in 1921. She married Kurt Stürken in 1926. He redeveloped the indebted property and had new farm buildings built. In 1945 the landlady and her children were expropriated and fled.
In the GDR era, the estate was a VEG ( nationally owned estate ) seed breeding. The estate was the seat of the administration and the manor house was the VEG apprentice dormitory.
In 1990 Kurt Stürken's son, who is called Kurt like his father, returned to Stolpe, and in 1994 he bought the estate back with all the manor buildings and 150 hectares of forest and fields. After the renovation in 1996, Stürken set up a restaurant and hotel that occupies the entire area of the former estate. The outbuildings were also gradually restored for various purposes.
