The Forsthof Jamel is a former forester's farm and poor house in the Jamel district of the municipality of Gägelow in the district of Northwest Mecklenburg , Mecklenburg-Western Pomerania . The property with house number Forststraße 13 and the day laborers katen Forststraße 14 and 15 are under monument protection .

history

The Forsthof was built in the first half of the 19th century as the state domain of the Duchy of Mecklenburg-Schwerin . In addition to its function as a forester's house , the facility was used as a poor house. It was subordinate to the Bailiwick of Plüschow.

The original use was retained until 1945. After the Second World War , displaced persons from the former East German territories ( euphemistically called resettlers in the GDR ) were housed here.

The courtyard consists of the original house for the forester family from around 1860, the extension with an economic area, people's room and servants' chamber. A large thatched four-column barn with various stables and storage compartments burned down in 2015 (see below). A smaller storage barn with a chick house and the well system supplemented the system; the barn was demolished around 1978.

Since the beginning of 2004, the 7,500 square meter property has been owned by the married couple Horst and Birgit Lohmeyer , who moved from Hamburg , and have been gradually renovating the courtyard buildings and creating a holiday apartment.

Forest rock festival

Since 2007 the owners of the farm have organized the forest rock music festival "Jamel rockt den Förster" on their farm every year as a symbol against right-wing extremism and for tolerance and democracy. For this they received the Paul Spiegel Prize for civil courage of the Central Council of Jews in 2011 and the Georg Leber Prize for civil courage of the industrial union building-agrarian-environment in 2015 . At the festival on August 29, 2015, under the motto “Forest Rock - For a Colorful World”, Die Toten Hosen performed and 2016 Die Ärzte .

Barn fire 2015

On the night of August 13, 2015, a barn in the old forester's yard burned down completely. According to the police, it was allegedly arson . The 240 square meter building was empty at the time of the fire. The barn was destroyed to the ground. According to the owner, a holiday guest noticed an unknown person on the forester's farm shortly before the fire. Fire accelerators were found during the forensic investigation.

The owners Birgit and Horst Lohmeyer moved from Hamburg to Northwest Mecklenburg in 2004 and have been openly campaigning against right-wing extremist activities in their village and the region ever since . Due to this fact, the Interior Minister of Mecklenburg-Western Pomerania, Lorenz Caffier , suspected in a statement an arson attack with a right-wing extremist background. The owners were under police protection after the fire . The investigation was finally closed with no concrete result.
