The nature reserve "Park des Rittergut Groß Vahlberg" and "Der Schönebusch" (CDDA no. 323623; 1974; 5.1 ha) consists of two spatially separated areas, a park and a small forest called Schönebusch, on the southwestern edge of the Lower Saxony village Groß Vahlberg , about 14 kilometers east of Wolfenbüttel . The German Foundation for Monument Protection assigns high regional importance to the park , "as it is an almost completely outdated representative of rural landscape gardens of the 19th century".

history
The park and the manor house were laid out around 1798 to 1803 by Ludwig Friederich von Münchhausen (1796–1827), a relative of the famous lying baron Karl Friedrich Hieronymus von Münchhausen (1720–1797). The manor goes back to an old knight seat owned by von Weferling. When the male line died out in the 17th century, the fiefdom fell back to the Dukes of Braunschweig. Albrecht Edmond von Münchhausen (1729–1797) acquired it from the dukes for 52,000 Reichstaler in 1774. This noblewoman of the von Münchhausen family belongs to the white line. His son Ludwig Friedrich von Münchhausen (1758–1827) had the manor house built into a summer residence and laid out the associated landscape park. The manor was inherited by his son Heyno von Münchhausen (1802–1879). In 1835 he enlarged the park and laid out the large pond and viewing hill. He also had the course of the stream designed and built bridges over it. It emerged source caves , rock formations and the northerly large pond. After his death, his son Ludolph (1836–1882) took over the manor. He died three years later and ownership passed to his younger brother Heyno von Münchhausen (1849–1918). After 1892 the mansion was no longer permanently inhabited. From 1918 the manor was managed by Ludolf-Heyno Freiherr von Münchhausen (1891–1926).
During the Second World War , prisoners of war and then refugees lived in the manor house. After the Second World War, Adalbert-Hubertus Freiherr von Münchhausen (1918–1988) managed the manor. He had the park trees tagged and looked after the neglected park. After he died, his son, Baron Rembert von Münchhausen, took over the estate and park. In 2010 a park maintenance work was created by the landscape architect Kai-Uwe Grahmann . With this monument preservation measure, the wood structures, paths and hydraulic structures are to be maintained and the park is to be gradually returned to its old condition. This measure is financed by listed institutions and foundations that are dedicated to historically significant parks.
In 2017, the fifth festival of the series of events "Jazz in the Park" took place in the park of the Rittergut, an event of the Braunschweigische Landschaft and the Braunschweigischer Kulturbesitz Foundation that takes place annually in a different park in the Braunschweig area .
Park
The conservation area is located on the northern edge of the Asse ridge . It was designated as a protected area in 1974.
Large trees and bushes grow in the park. The park area lies in a valley cut that has a steep slope. Small streams have dug themselves into the park. The original large pond has silted up and is only recognizable as a lawn. There is a small pond at the south end of the park. Paths lead through the park and individual wooden bridges over the streams. There is a viewing hill. Overall, the park is described as romantic.
The park area can be entered with advance notice from the owner.
Schönebusch
The wooded landscape protection area Schönebusch ( position ) is about 400 meters west of the manor Groß Vahlberg. At the end of the southwestern park boundary, a path leads to the small forest area, which is closed to vehicles with a barrier. The Schönebusch falls sharply towards the north. The Münchhausen Memorial is located in the small wood. In order to create a relatively flat memorial site, the site was surrounded by natural stone walls in the west, north and east and then backfilled. The memorial is fenced all around. It was laid out in 1918 and restored in 2016. As part of the measures, the stable metal fence was rebuilt and individual posts made of Weser sandstone were newly created. The grave inscriptions are wrapped in boulders and painted in white. Behind the cross made of Wurmberg granite (see center of the picture) a line of sight opens to the north, which allows a view of the landscape.
