Wahlsdorf manor house
The Wahlsdorf manor is a neo-baroque mansion in Wahlsdorf , a district of the town of Dahme / Mark in the Teltow-Fläming district in the state of Brandenburg .
location
Road 70 leads south through the village when coming from the north. From here the school road branches off to the west south of the village green. There is the manor house north of Schulstrasse; northeast the village church . The property is partially fenced in by residential buildings and partially by a historically valuable wall .
history
Plans have been passed down from the 1830s showing the existence of a manor house. Hiltrud and Carsten Preuß suspect in their explanations in The manor houses and manors in the Teltow-Fläming district that the previous building was probably so damaged by fire that a new building was evidently indicated. It is also conceivable that the existing manor house no longer met the space requirements of the Schwietzke family. The building still existing in 2020 was built in 1914/1915 on the initiative of the then squire Otto Gustav Walter Schwietzke, whose family came into possession of the place in 1827. Schwietzke commissioned the Berlin architects Cremer & Wolffenstein with the construction of a neo-baroque building.
After the Second World War , the Schwietzkes were expropriated and the building was used as a school from 1949 to 1993. In the 1970s a gymnasium was added to the building on the western side, and an extension was added to the northern side in 1988. After the fall of the Wall , the building served as a training center and headquarters of the Niederer Fläming e. V. At the same time it was used as a hotel. From 1999 to 2000 it was reconstructed according to the historical model and since 2010 by the Verein Neue Lebenswelt e. V. used as a youth hostel.
Building description
The structure is a two-storey , eleven-axis plastered building . The three central axes were slightly emphasized from the structure; its corners are structured by a simple ashlar plaster on pilaster strips . In the center is a large, rectangular gate, above it a central projection with the estate coat of arms. Above is a mansard roof with a centrally mounted tail gable; Bat dormers in the roof . On the park side, there was a winter garden in the middle in the lower area, above a balcony. Above the balcony there was a dormer, behind which there was presumably a girl's room.
The gymnasium and the northern extension are simple functional buildings, each with a rectangular floor plan and simple, high-rectangular windows. Only remnants of the former estate park have been preserved.
Earlier than the building, an enclosure was created from a wall up to 2.70 m high and around 40 cm wide. It was not made from field stones or bricks , but from rammed masonry in the construction principle of clay corrugation . A gravel-lime mixture was used, which was applied in 10 to 15 cm thick layers and then tamped down. The wall pillars were made from bricks that were probably burned in the in-house brickworks built by the landowner Schwietzke in 1828. Parts of the wall were torn down in 1977. Craftsmen found a founding document that described the first phase of construction in 1863.
Furnishing
The existing equipment is described by Hiltrud and Carsten Preuß as "dignified". The panels attached to the building, a chimney and the spacious stairwell make the “landlord's claim to living” clear. They emphasize that there was even a separate room for the visitors' cloakroom on the ground floor.
