The Pinnow mansion is a listed property built in the neo-Gothic style in Pinnow (municipality of Breesen ) in the Mecklenburg Lake District in Mecklenburg-Western Pomerania .

history

The estate had been in the possession of the von Aschersleben family since 1612 at the latest , until it was handed over to Reimar Ernst von Voss in 1668 . From 1700 it belonged to the Klinggräff family .

On behalf of Friedrich von Klinggräff , a smaller tenant house that already existed on site was converted into a mansion and family seat from 1863 under the architect Carl Schäfer according to plans by the royal Hanoverian building councilor Conrad Wilhelm Hase . The corps brother Klinggräff saw the epitome of the German in the Gothic style and wanted to build a "genuinely simple, pious house" that would have a formative effect on the growing youth. After Hase fell out of favor in 1864 after an intrigue in Hanover, his assignment for Pinnow was withdrawn from him; The Cologne diocesan master builder Heinrich Wiethase was won in his place to complete the house. Klinggräff himself intervened to a large extent in the planning and construction work, and was involved in the design not only of the house, but also a large part of its interior. The house was completed in 1869.

After the estate was expropriated from the von Klinggräff family in 1945, it served both as a residential building for several families and as an LPG administration, post office and community center. Since the 1970s, the apartments were gradually abandoned until only one last resident remained, who lived in a few rooms in the north wing of the manor house until his death in 2004.

After reunification, the Arbeitskreis Denkmalpflege eV took over the increasingly dilapidated property in 1996 and began securing work, but did not finish it. After years of standstill, the now ruinous and collapsing building was awarded to the community, which sold it to a private buyer in 2012, who immediately started the emergency security. Since 2013, the house has been renovated in accordance with listed buildings. The renovation should be completed in 2020. In October 2012 and April 2018 the house was “Monument of the Month” of the Mecklenburg-Western Pomerania State Monument Preservation .

park

The property includes a spacious English-style park dominated by a lake with two islands. Outstanding are two oaks that are several hundred years old, of which the larger one is titled “Beautiful Oak” and was awarded the title of the most beautiful oak in Germany by the Kuratorium Alte liebenswerte Trees in Germany eV (now Kulturgut Baum eV ). Various sources estimate their age to be between four hundred and a thousand years. The park is laid out in such a way that there are numerous lines of sight to the oaks from the manor house.

Furthermore, in the park to the north of the manor house, there is a tower hill, probably from the 14th century and under monument protection, about two meters high, which was originally surrounded by a moat. There was a tower on the hill.
