Goldenbow mansion 1861

The manor house Goldenbow , rebuilt from a ruin since 2009 , is in the Vellahner district Goldenbow in the district of Ludwigslust-Parchim in Mecklenburg-Western Pomerania. The manor house is one of the few manors in Mecklenburg that dates back to the 17th century .

history

After 1229, Goldenbowe was first mentioned as a tower hill south of Goldenbow. In the 13th century Goldenow is said to have belonged to a Goldenbow family. From 1389 onwards, the von Lützow family owned the village of Goldenbow and the feudal estate. The Goldenbower branch of this family remained Catholic even after the Reformation , like the von Preen family on Golchen at the time . In the Thirty Years' War the Goldenbower von Lützow were on the imperial side, but were still very much appreciated in the country. Until 1798 Kurt von Lützow still had possessions in the church village Marsow .

The Goldenbower mansion is one of the oldest in the state of Mecklenburg. It was built in 1696 by Kurt Freiherr von Lützow.

The two-storey brick building with lime-plastered cornices and pilasters is topped off by a high hipped roof . The sloped basement is faced with hewn granite blocks.

There was a baroque Dutch ornamental gable above the main entrance with the outside staircase . Under the frieze there is still a circumferential band with inscriptions that refer to the Catholic Kurt von Lützow: OMNIA AD MAIOREM DEI GLORIAM (Everything for the higher glory of God), as well as a saying by Ovid and the names Maria, Joseph and Jesus. The type of building, which is probably under Dutch influence, is exciting due to the decorative use of dark decorative bricks with large-format representation of names, letters and years in the gables. The side gable fronts were also decorated in the Dutch style.

In 1852 Jasper Friedrich von Bülow inherited the Goldenbow estate and had the house renovated in 1863. The gables were placed on all four sides.

At the back of the house is the rest of the former park with the small lake, surrounded by old trees. Remains of the village square can be seen on the front, with the water tower at the end.

The mansion was built on the vaulted cellar of a previous building. The middle staircase and the ballroom with sandstone chimneys on the upper floor were still preserved from the time it was built in 1990. The building, which was dilapidated at the time, but still largely intact in its substance, seemed to have finally fallen into disrepair after the roof collapsed. In addition to the outer walls inside, only chimneys and ornate stucco and door roofs were worth preserving.

Estate

The neighboring Gut Rodenwalde and the Vorwerk Albertinenhof belonged to Gut Goldenbow as pertinances . Because of the agricultural reforms at the end of the 18th century, the Lützow had to sell the estate. It passed into the possession of the von Schilden family in 1797 . In 1852 , Jasper von Bülow (1794–1871), who had married the heiress Elisabeth von Schilden , was the chief court marshal of the Duke of Mecklenburg-Schwerin. So Rodenwalde and Marsow came to von Bülow. His descendants, Alexander von Bülow as Minister of State under Friedrich Franz II , and his son Henning probably also lived in this manor house.

Henning von Bülow (1868–) built an important library there with collections of old manuscripts and graphics, which were lost after looting in 1945 when the Bülow were expropriated. The former structure of the estate can be recognized by some of the buildings that have been preserved.

Successful ownership of the property

  • 1389 von Lützow family
  • 1670 Kurt Freiherr von Lützow
  • 1756 Oberamtmann Ritter und Edlen von Schilden zu Wustrow, Dannenberg
  • 1852 Jasper von Bülow
  • 1945 expropriation

After the Second World War , the Goldenbow estate was expropriated with the land reform and later used by the LPG "Goldene Ähre". After looting, the mansion served as a residential building for several families. The house had been empty since 1984 and was left to decay due to vandalism. In 2005, the “Foundation for mansions and manors in Mecklenburg-Western Pomerania” saved the mansion, which had fallen into ruin, from demolition.

The house has been privately owned since 2008 and reconstruction began in 2009. The building now has a high pitched hip roof, built according to historical findings from the time it was built. The shell (as of August 2014) has been completed and the interior work has started.

Water tower

The water tower was built at the end of the 19th century south of the farm yard as a water reservoir for the estate. It is a two-storey, brick-faced rotunda, the basement of which is closed off by a cornice. The upper floor, which is structured by a few narrow windows and a doorway, is slightly tapered and ends with a strong round arch frieze as an eaves. The conical roof of the tower is provided with a slate roof. The cylindrical water tower is loosened up by five fial-like structures with small tent roofs, in whose eaves the block frieze of the cornice is repeated in a reduced form. A turret is equipped with a clock.

From a structural point of view, the water tower is a special feature. Here the still existing water tank is not in the head, but in the basement of the tower. Behind the fial-like structures that represent design elements are the ventilation openings, from which the air that is displaced by the water can escape when the water tank is filled.

In 2007, the tower was restored in accordance with the requirements of historical monuments and the roof structure of the king's chair in the spire was damaged by moisture damage and sponge. The continued existence of the water tower, which has great historical and technical importance in addition to its architectural quality, has been secured.
