The Roggow manor in the municipality of Rerik in the Rostock district in Mecklenburg-Western Pomerania is the von Oertzen's oldest family property .

geography

About 60 meters east of the road between Rerik and Neubukow is the Roggow manor, also known as the manor house, in the middle of the village. The Salzhaff is 400 meters to the west and the seaside resort of Rerik is 3.5 kilometers to the north. The name Roggowe, Rogow is of old Slavic origin and means horn, corner, point and thus indicates its location at an angle of the Salzhaff.

history

Historical view (around 1858)

A Hermann von Oertze van Rogghowe was mentioned for the first time in an old document from the Doberan monastery from June 28, 1345 .

It is assumed, however, that the von Oertzen have lived here since 1192. Probably the oldest family property of the Oertzen was owned by the von Oertzen family until it was expropriated in 1945 as part of the land reform in the Soviet occupation zone . Only after German reunification , after long negotiations, was the heir Peter von Oertzen able to buy back the manor house and parts of the park in 1991.

Estate

After heavy destruction and devastation in the Thirty Years War , the manor house was rebuilt in the Baroque style by 1686 . After the death of Jasper III. von Oertzen on June 23, 1649, his wife Eva von Pentz did a lot for the reconstruction of the manor in Russow. A plan of the courtyard from 1745 shows that in addition to the new manor house built by Joachim von Oertzen in 1666 and the barn, from 1736 a horse stable, a farm house, two cattle stables and an arched arched bridge belonged to the estate. The entire estate complex was surrounded by a wall with a moat. There was also a windmill. It could be crossed by a drawbridge, which was in use until 1835. A gatehouse followed on the courtyard side. In addition to the manor house, there is an old pigsty to the east of the former courtyard, which has been converted into a residential building, and a building to the south. The moat that surrounded the former moated castle has also disappeared except for small remains, so that the original character of the entire complex is difficult to recognize.

Mansion

The manor house, which dates from the second half of the 17th century and was rebuilt several times, was a two-storey plastered building with a flat hipped roof . A neo-Gothic facade was added in 1850 by the Wismar architect Heinrich Thormann . Another renovation took place in 1921. At its core it was a half-timbered building erected in 1686 , the western extension was added in 1844, so that it became an irregular three-wing complex . With the gable removed after 1945, the facade now appears somewhat asymmetrically structured. Of the twelve axes, the left one is raised like a risalit and topped with pinnacles . In the middle of the facade there used to be a stepped gable . Inside there is an elegant French salon, which was furnished with painted canvas wallpaper until 1945; a French painter who stranded nearby on the coast in the 18th century and was moved to Roggow, had painted it from engravings from Rubens' pictures from the gallery of the Parisian Palais du Luxembourg , which are now in the Louvre , but the composition turned to the left and the colors according to memory; until 1945 the engravings were also kept in the house. Since it was bought back in 1991, the former manor house has been extensively renovated in accordance with the requirements of historical monuments and is now used as a residential building with holiday apartments.

Use after 1945

After the end of the Second World War on May 8, 1945, refugees found accommodation in the manor house and the adjacent buildings. With the land reform carried out in 1946, the settlers received the remaining horses and cattle in addition to the arable land of the former estate. When the first LPG was founded in Roggow in 1957, the livestock were kept in the partly converted manor stables. The former cowshed was put together as a pigsty and the fields of the individual settlers. The municipal administration moved into the outbuilding of the former manor house. The LPG set up a factory kitchen with food service and offices here. In the main building there was a grocery store and a doctor's office. The manor changed its reputation very much in the years to come.

  • 1947 Conversion of the horse stable into a residential building.
  • 1950 Demolition of the cowshed and construction of a small family house.
  • 1955 Collapse of the barn next to the pigsty. Demolition of the barn at the entrance to the courtyard on the right in front of the stable.
  • 1960 Demolition of the young cattle barn at the entrance to the farm on the left.
  • 1974 Apple cellar fire.
  • 1975 Roof of the mansion covered with corrugated asbestos.
  • 1978 Fire in the large barn between the horse stable and the cowshed, for which an apartment building was built.
  • 1989 demolition of the coach stable and then vacancy until it was bought back in 1991.

particularities

Wilhelm von Oertzen , the founder of the Herrengesellschaft Mecklenburg , wrote in the diary he started in 1931:

"The future of Roggow is more important to me than anything else."
"A single person is perishable, a family property has something immortal about it, something of eternity."
"All my thoughts and energies are only aimed at this one goal, to be able to leave one of my sons Roggow as a safe ground under the feet."

The sons of Wilhelm von Oertzens, Jürgen and Frithjof, died in the German-Soviet war . On May 4, 1945, he shot his wife Gerda, b. Countess von Westarp, and herself when Red Army soldiers ransacked the house looking for the key to the library. This ended the 600-year family tradition of those from Oertzen zu Roggow for the time being .

It was not until 1991 that Peter von Oertzen , the son of the fallen Jürgen von Oertzen and his wife (born von Alvensleben ), was able to buy back the Roggow manor and part of the estate. Today the house is used as a family residence; At the same time, holiday apartments are rented in the manor house.
