history
In 1819 Johann Friedrich Homeyer (1792–1841), a son of the Wolgast shipowner and grain trader of the same name , acquired the Murchin and Libnow estates. After his death, his younger son Wilhelm (1828–1903) received Libnow. In 1862 he had the manor house built by the Anklam builder Drowatzky. After the death of Homeyer, who was ennobled in 1865, a Herr von Sittmann came into the possession of Libnow in 1903. In 1911 an Oskar Schmidt was named as the owner, two years later the ophthalmologist Paul Silex (1858–1929). From 1922 the estate belonged to the brothers Gustav and Ludwig Samson. Because of their Jewish descent, they were forced to sell the property in 1936.
The East Prussian landowner Otto Hoene acquired Libnow. After his death in 1943, his daughter Elisabeth inherited the estate. It was expropriated and expelled after the occupation of the region by the Red Army in April 1945. After the end of World War II , refugee families were housed in the house.
In the 1970s, the dry cleaning company VEB Edelweiß from Magdeburg acquired the property, which also ran a sewing workshop here. Until 1989 there was a company holiday camp for the children of the employees . In 1990 the Treuhandanstalt took over the manor house. The vacant house fell into disrepair in the 1990s. In 2000 the couple Quies and Lorenz bought the building. They renovated the building and set up a gallery and art shop as well as a frame manufacture. In 2008 holiday apartments were completed on the upper floor. A printing workshop is located in the basement.
