Alt Plestlin Manor 2006

The manor house Alt Plestlin is located in the district of the same name in the municipality of Bentzin in the Vorpommern-Greifswald district on the southern edge of the Peene Valley .

history

The Plestlin estate goes back to a knightly possession first mentioned in the 13th century. During the 16th and the first half of the 17th centuries it was owned by the noble Suckow family , who also owned Jagetzow. On March 5, 1504, Duke Bogislaw X enfeoffed the brothers Clawes, Ertwann, Thomas, Hermann, Dietrich and Gerth Suckow with the estates of Plestlin and Gawetzow (Jagetzow). On April 14, 1561 Henning Suckow zu Plestlin received the enfeoffment and on January 27, 1602 Dietrich, Claus and Thomas Suckow were enfeoffed. The last owner from the Sukow family was Joachim, who died around 1660.

During the Swedish era, the estate came into the possession of Baron von Keffenbrink, who had been raised to the Swedish nobility in 1650 . On November 3, 1652, Queen Christina of Sweden granted Andreas Axelsson Keffenbrink, assessor at the Greifswald court court , the entitlement to the Plestlin fiefdom, which was still owned by Joachim Suckow. In the middle of the 19th century they had the manor house built in Alt Plestlin. After the baronial line died out in 1910, the property was attached to the Fideikommiss of the Counts of Keffenbrink on Griebenow . After the death of Siegfried Graf von Keffenbrink-Griebenow in 1920, the estate came by inheritance to the Barons von Langen, who called themselves von Langen-Keffenbrinck here. In 1945 the last noble owner, Hans-Wolfgang Freiherr von Langen-Keffenbrinck, was expropriated.

After the Second World War , refugees were housed in the manor house. There are still apartments in the building today.

The manor house Alt Plestlin is located to the northeast, a little away from the village, directly on the lowlands of the Peene Valley. The two-storey building with basement and half-hip roof, erected around 1850 on the foundations of an older building, can be seen from the Peene , especially in the season with little vegetation . The plastered building, built in the late classical style, has three-storey central projections on the courtyard and park sides . The originally existing pilasters are now missing, as is an arbor with a wrought iron grille that was on the park side. The ballroom inside still has a finely structured stucco ceiling from the construction period.

There are still several farm buildings made of broken field stone from the manor, but only some of them are used for agriculture. During the GDR era, a new three-story apartment building was built in the immediate vicinity of the manor house; this was torn down again in 2009.

In the 19th century, an English landscape park was laid out north of the manor, which extends into the lowlands of the Peene. In the park there is a mighty pedunculate oak that has been classified as a natural monument. A memorial stone for the horse Hanko of the Olympic champion Carl-Friedrich von Langen was set up west of the house . His widow, Marie Louise von Langen, lived in Alt Plestlin for several years.
