history

Laaske is an old part of the Putlitz rule and was first mentioned in a document in 1492. At that time it was named among the desert villages whose field mark was henceforth used by the neighboring farmers from Triglitz and Lockstädt and the Wolfshagen estate . In the course of the Frederician reclamation policy, Christian Ludwig zu Putlitz (1709–1786) built a new Vorwerkwirtschaft on the grounds of the old Laaske in the 1750s. In 1752 the Laasker Feldmark was estimated to have 50 to 60 hooves of 30 acres each and in 1754 3 Büdner families of the planned 12 were already settled there. In 1765 all 12 sites were built and 11 of them were also inhabited. The Vorwerk buildings were generously and regularly built around a spacious square courtyard in brick framework with thatched roofs.

In 1756 Christian Ludwig zu Putlitz, who lived in his castle in Wolfshagen, had an elongated, single-storey brick timbered house built on the newly built farmyard as a northern end, which he used as a residence alongside the administrator during his stays in Laaske. It had 7 windows on each side of the entrance door and a developed central room under a triangular gable that emphasized the central axis. It essentially remained in this simple form until it was expanded in the 1860s.

In the 1780s the manor house was inhabited by Christian Ludwig's widow, Gödula Margarethe zu Putlitz, née. von Jagow (1714–1788). After that, a member of the family, Carl Theodor zu Putlitz (1788–1848), moved into the house again in 1814 , until he moved to the Groß Pankow estate, which his father Gebhard zu Putlitz (1742–1826) inherited from his father, and a new one there Residential house built. Laaske remained the administrator's apartment, initially for the administrator Augustin and after his death (1838) for Mr. Els, who later (1859) moved to the Putlitz'sche Gut Rosenhagen as administrator. In 1854 Eduard zu Putlitz (1789–1881) and his wife Caroline von Guretzky-Cornitz (1796–1868) moved into the old manor house for a few years. At that time he laid the foundation stone for the landscaped park, which is still preserved today, which connects to the house in the north and northwest. When Eugen zu Putlitz (1832-1893) took over the estate from his father in 1861 and married Sophie von Rohr (1841-1902) from the Dannenwalde house (near Kyritz), he first lived in the old, elongated half-timbered manor house, but left it At the beginning of the 1880s, a massive two-storey extension was added on the garden side according to the plans of the builder Wilhelm Martens .

A contemporary estimate of the estate from 1867 offers a deeper insight into the economic efforts of father and son to raise Laaske as an estate enterprise.

“The only use of the property is arable and livestock farming. The owner has directed his main endeavors to raise and thereby use the plots that always require maintenance, especially in relation to the fields. The crop rotation which he introduced shows that the third part of the field is sown with winter grain, as does the strong cultivation of fodder crops, by means of which it is possible to nourish the livestock and fertilize the field. Due to the excellent livestock of cows, Dutch and Hollsteiner Raon, the fodder is used by leasing milk, and for the sheep, which are probably among the best in the area, by selling wool and selling cattle; the Bock sale is only just beginning. "

The economy in 1867 included a total of 30 apartments, 5 of which were occupied by deputants (such as Meier and Schäfer) and 25 by day laborers. The value of the manor house was then estimated at 3600 thalers, the estate valued at 84,047 thalers in total. For the manor house, a firewood requirement of 48 fathoms of pine wood was specified. In the course of the 19th and the beginning of the 20th century, a whole series of new, massive farm buildings and, above all, apartments for the farm workers in Laaske were built, including the architecturally prominent and modernly equipped distillery building made of red brick and hewn field stones , which was built in 1883 . All buildings were gradually given tiled roofs. Eugen zu Putlitz had the wide village street paved and planted with a four-row linden avenue.

Railway projects

The construction of the railway line from Perleberg to Wittstock in 1885 was of great economic importance for many goods and farmers. It enabled the farms to have faster access to the sales markets and saved transport costs. It remains to the credit of Eugen zu Putlitz that this railway construction and its financing succeeded. He was a co-founder of the stock corporation, one of the main shareholders and chairman of the committee of the Prignitzer railway company.

This project was soon followed by a number of regional railways, some of which were narrow-gauge, which connected many agricultural businesses directly to the important transport links, including Laaske and Putlitz, which were direct at the instigation of Walter zu Putlitz (1873-1937) when the new Pritzwalk – Putlitz small railway was built in 1896 They were connected and equipped with small station buildings built shortly afterwards in brick architecture. This was a great economic advantage for the estate and also for the small town of Putlitz, because above all the distillery products could be transported inexpensively by field train directly to the train station and loaded there, not to mention the easier travel. The field railway was built under Eugen zu Putlitz and connected several arable areas directly to the distillery during the annual potato harvest and was a major technical innovation for that time, which primarily made labor-intensive transport with horse-drawn vehicles unnecessary.

History after 1893

After Eugen zu Putlitz's early death, his son Walter (1873–1937) took over the Laaske estate. Walter zu Putlitz received his school education from 1886 to 1893 at the Knight Academy in Brandenburg an der Havel. In July 1893 he joined the Uhlan Regiment No. 13 and in October 1894 became a lieutenant. In the autumn of 1896 he said goodbye to begin his agricultural training, after which he took over his father's estates Laaske, Mansfeld, Putlitz-Burghof and Klein Langerwisch on January 1, 1898, and on June 28, 1898 with Adelheid Freiin Hofer von Lobenstein (1875–1966) married. In 1908 he bought the neighboring Groß Langerwisch estate. In the community of Laaske-Jakobsdorf he was for many years the community leader and also a member of the district council. In Laaske he had a whole series of new houses for the workforce, a new inn (1909) and a large number of new massive cattle sheds built for the estate and old ones renovated, which, for example, were T. still stand today. In 1906/07 he had the half-timbered part of the manor house torn down and expanded into a two-wing complex with a massive neo-baroque new building, which was now connected to the wing from 1880. It has been preserved in this form to this day.

During the war, the house housed inmates of a Hamburg retirement home and, most recently, many refugees. After the house was also used as a children's home under the management of Ruth von Seydlitz in the first post-war years, it served as an after-work home for the Pritzwalk district from 1960 to 1996 and has been structurally well preserved. The park also remained and was maintained. After a long vacancy, the manor house and park were sold in 2004 to a Hamburg entrepreneur who restored both and lives in the house with his family.

During the GDR era, the manor and park were placed under monument protection on July 1, 1982 , which underscored their architectural, dendrological and historical importance. Parts of the estate, which was parceled out in 1945 with the land reform, were demolished immediately after the war in 1946/47, the rest served as the farm of the agricultural production cooperative (LPG) from 1952 to 1990 . Today, apart from the cowshed, these buildings are mostly empty and derelict. Sections were and will be auctioned by the Treuhandanstalt, including the distillery. Regardless of this, the district administrator of the Prignitz district placed some of the old residential and farm buildings on the estate under monument protection in 2002 because of their architectural and historical significance.

On December 31, 2001, Laaske was incorporated into Putlitz.

Hereditary funeral in the park

In the rear, forestry part of the park of Laaske, Eugen zu Putlitz established a family cemetery in 1887 when his eldest daughter, Armgard von Faber du Faur (1865–1887), died after giving birth to their first child. This burial place was once framed by a metal mesh fence (pattern based on the so-called "Schinkel fence" at Glienecke Palace). The graves that gradually emerged were marked with white marble crosses. From 1945 until the 1960s, the cemetery was tended by the old estate gardener Fritz Franke and only then slowly became neglected. After 1990 the zu Putlitz family had it restored and since then it has served them again as a burial place and memorial.
