history

Gut Huntlosen 1914 - painting by Hugo Zieger

The place is first mentioned as Huntloun in Lerigau 827, while the today Protestant church, consecrated to Saint Briccius , is first mentioned around 1100. The Saint Briccius Church is said to have been built between 855 and 872. The Corvey Monastery in Höxter , East Westphalia , gave half of them, along with the Meierhof ( curia ), to Count Otto von Zutphen , who was later replaced by the Counts of Tecklenburg . The Huntlosen estate emerged from the old Corveyer Hof, with which the Tecklenburgers enfeoffed their knights , u. a. the ministerial family Bernefuer , after whom the Barnführer wood at Huntlosen bears its name. Later ownership of the property changed several times.

In 1600 it was bought by Drost Heinrich Schade from Wildeshausen , together with the brick yard belonging to it , who was able to offer his relative, the Swedish Field Marshal Dodo zu Innhausen and Knyphausen , an asylum in Huntlosen at Christmas 1635, who was expelled from Wildeshausen during the Thirty Years' War . In 1650, the new sovereign of Wildeshausen, Count Gustav Gustavson von Wasaburg, a son of the Swedish King Gustav Adolf and the Dutch Margaretha Cabeliau , bought the Huntlosen estate for 27,000 Speciesthalers and had a castle with four corner towers built not far from the Protestant church. The widow of Count Gustav Gustavson still had considerable debts after the death of her husband due to the construction of the palace. In 1675, the Prince-Bishop of Münster, Christoph Bernhard von Galen , captured Wildeshausen and destroyed Huntlosen Castle.

The Schade family came back into possession of the Huntlosen estate because of backward purchase money, but the Wasaburg family was able to keep a fraction. The impoverished great-granddaughter of the Swedish King Gustav Adolf, Henriette Polixena Countess von Wasaburg , was buried in the church in Huntlosen in 1777. At the time, Georg Freiherr von Münster at Haus Landegge in the Emsland was already the owner of the Huntlosen estate . In 1782 the Rüdebusch family acquired the estate.
