history

East of the village of Elslaake is the Hohennauen-Witzke castle wall , the remnant of a Slavic castle wall from the 7th to 9th centuries. The former wall and moat are still recognizable from the former site . Ceramics could be secured in the outer bailey .

In 2007, parts of a Slavic burial ground from the 11th and 12th centuries in Hohennauen were opened up. The skeletons were examined by the anthropologist Bettina Jungklaus . The 23 interred persons examined had an average height for this period (women 1.53 m, men 1.66 m). The disease burden was very high. Mainly diseases of the teeth and jawbones were detected, often degenerative changes of the joints and vertebrae occurred. This indicates employment in agriculture and a predominantly meat-free diet. Two children showed signs of malnutrition and three adults had healed fractures.

Hohennauen was first mentioned in a document in 1386 and is a typical street village . Often the owners of the place changed, until 1350 it was the Margraves of Brandenburg, they were followed by the Counts of Lindow and until 1386 by the Bishops of Brandenburg. After that, the von Stechow and Friesack families were landlords. In 1401 the owners of the castle, the Zicker family, opposed the Magdeburg invasion and made raids into the neighboring archbishopric in the period that followed. After 1414 the property was subject to the sovereign. In 1432 the Hohenzollern pledged the castle to the von Rohr family.

The von der Hagen family had owned Hohennauen since 1486 . The manor was divided into four parts in the 17th century. From 1692 Johann Gottfried von Rauchhaupt owned a part . The other parts were united under the von der Hagen. From 1692 and 1731 there were two manors.

Rauchhaupt'sches, later Bornstedt'sches and Kleist'sches Rittergut Hohennauen around 1860, Alexander Duncker collection

The castle was completely derelict after the Thirty Years' War. Johann Gottfried von Rauchhaupt built a mansion as a half-timbered building on the foundation walls around 1700. This building was added later and now forms the west wing. Under the rule of Hans Ehrenreich von Bornstedt , who married the granddaughter of Herr von Rauchhaupt, the castle was considerably redesigned in 1778 and later partially plastered. The building was heavily modified in 1928 and received the central projection. The building has served as a school up to the present day. In 1781 and 1802 the estate was majorized with water soup, Witzke, Schönholz and Elslake and at the end of the 18th century it passed from the von Bornstedt family to the von Kleist family , who owned it until 1945.

The von der Hagen family, also resident in the village, who had previously lived in a simple half-timbered building, built a small castle in 1792 at the northern end of the manor park. The simple two-storey plastered building with eleven axes has a hipped roof. Inside there is an oak staircase with an oval eye. After 1945 the building was used as a children's home.

Since December 31, 2001, the formerly independent place has belonged to the Seeblick municipality .
