history

Lepahn mill

The first named owner was the von Ryckestorp family in 1369, who took their name from the Rixdorf estate . Since there are no further chronological entries, it is assumed that the sex has died out here. A branch of the family moved to South Jutland and died in 1509 with Wulf Claussen on Palsgård in Sundewitt. From 1424 on, the Ahlefeldt family sat on Lehmkuhlen for around 300 years and thus founded one of the few lines that made their home in Ostholstein . The last descendant of this line was Adolphine von Ahlefeldt, who died in Preetz in 1895 at the age of 102 .

In 1704 Lehmkuhlen was sold to Heinrich Reventlow . Heinrich Reventlow was a brother-in-law of Georg Heinrich von Schlitz and was raised to the rank of imperial count in 1708 . In 1737 the heir, Detlev Reventlow, could not avoid bankruptcy, although the final judgment was not made until 1760. In the course of the liquidation, Lehmkuhlen was sold to the Roepstorff family and finally acquired by Magdalene von Hahn in 1781 . Her son, Friedrich von Hahn , sold the property in 1792 to Hofrat von Hinüber , who rented the property's apartments to French immigrants. Hofrath von Hinüber came from Marienwerder in Lower Saxony and had the Meierhof Marienwerder, now called Marienwarder, separated from the main farm in Lehmkuhlen.

In October 1797 the manor house Lehmkuhlen was rented by Joseph Marquis de La Fayette , who was supported by the Hamburg merchant John Parish . La Fayette gave up Lehmkuhlen as a residence after his daughter's wedding in 1798. In the same year Joachim Friedrich von Bernsdorff bought the estate and sold it to Jens Peter Neergaard in 1807 .

Neergaard had to separate from Lehmkuhlen due to its bankruptcy in 1826, whereupon the estate was acquired by Andreas Christiansen , whose heirs sold the estate to Carl Godeffroy in 1842 . In 1906 the heirs sold the estate to the Hamburg banker Conrad Hinrich (III.) Von Donner , who moved his residence from Altona to Bredeneek in 1902 . The Lehmkuhlen manor house underwent extensive extensions in 1910/11 and served Conrad Hinrich (IV.) Freiherr von Donner as his residence from 1911.

The manor house on Gut Lehmkuhlen around 1907

Since 1906, the three manor districts of Lehmkuhlen , Rethwisch and Bredeneek, along with the Meierhöfen Christiansruhe and Hohenhütten acquired in 1905, have been combined to form the manor district of Lehmkuhlen. The manor and the manor house in Lehmkuhlen were the seat of the manor under Conrad Hinrich (IV.) Freiherr von Donner, whose parents never left Bredeneek. In 1928 the two rural communities Lehmkuhlen and Rethwisch were formed from the manor district . In 1934 the municipality Lehmkuhlen was created, the area of which has remained unchanged since then.

After the Second World War , Bredeneek, Christiansruhe and Hohenhütten were withdrawn from their core operations through inheritance: Bredeneek went to Bodild von Donner , a sister of Conrad Hinrich V. von Donner , whose husband Raimar Edler von Paepcke had to give up his possessions in Mecklenburg-Western Pomerania. Conrad Hinrich V. von Donner continued the Lehmkuhlen business, but fell in the Second World War in 1944. On the basis of a lease settlement contract, his children Götz von Donner received the Meierhof Hohenhütten and Angelika von Donner the Meierhof Christiansruhe. Conrad Hinrich VI. Von Donner continued the Lehmkuhlen business until his death in 1989, but had the manor house demolished in 1975.

Bredeneek

Bredeneek , formerly Bredenbek or Bredeneck, is located at the confluence of the Spolsau / Spohlsau in the Schwentine and belonged to the Preetz guild in the 15th century . The place name goes back to a widening and ford of the Schwentine at this point. In the 16th century the village was abandoned and the estate was created.

The blacksmith Marx Dahl , who in 1738 created the choir lattice of the Preetz monastery church , one of the most important of its kind in Schleswig-Holstein , came from Bredeneek.

Due to the historical development, the inhabitants belong to two different parishes . The southeastern area including the village of Lepahn belongs to the parish of Lebrade . The rest of the community belongs to the Schellhorn parish .

coat of arms

Blazon : “Divided by a blue wavy bar, humbled by silver and gold. Above a green oak leaf and three fan-shaped green cattails with red seeds between two green reed leaves. "

The oak leaf, the cattails and the golden crest symbolize the former aristocratic estates Bredeneek , Rethwisch and Lehmkuhlen of the Bredeneek manor district , which was dissolved in 1928 and from which the municipality emerged. The blue wave bar represents the Spolsau watercourse , which flows through the entire municipality.

economy

The community is predominantly agricultural and forestry . The proportion of forest is over 15% and is thus well above the national average.

From the federal highway 76 branch off in an easterly direction in the north the country road 211 and in the south the district road 25. The country road 211 connects the federal highways 76 and 202 and runs through Bredeneek . The district road 25 continues over the neighboring municipality of Lebrade to the federal road 430 .

A municipal road runs through the municipality from the north via Dammdorf , Rethwisch , Falkendorf and Trent to the south. In the north it is connected to the road 211 in Preetz , which leads past Bredeneek . A local road runs from Rethwisch in an easterly direction and connects the two neighboring communities Martensrade and Rastorf . Another municipal road leads from Lepahn northeast via Marienwarder and Hohenhütten to the neighboring municipality of Martensrade .

Buildings and monuments

Lehmkuhlen arboretum

The Lehmkuhlen Arboretum emerged from an estate park created around 1820, which Conrad Hinrich (IV.) Von Donner und Cosmos von Milde expanded to around 50 hectares from 1911 onwards . Between 1911 and 1928 Conrad Hinrich (IV.) Von Donner had around 1,500 different trees planted, which means that the complex is still of great dendrological importance today.

The Lehmkuhlen Arboretum is a protected landscape area and is a listed building.

Bredeneek manor house

The Bredeneek manor is located in the northernmost part of the municipality. The estate park extends to the Schwentine . The manor house was built in 1830 in the classical style by the conference councilor Conrad Hinrich Donner . Between 1889 and 1902, Conrad Hinrich (III.) Freiherr von Donner rebuilt it into its present-day form through considerable extensions. The Kaulbach Hall is characterized by monumental wall paintings by Wilhelm von Kaulbach and his son-in-law August von Kreling , which were originally intended for the Donner Castle , the palace of the Donner family in Altona. In August 1936 the Synod of the Confessing Church of Schleswig-Holstein met in the manor house under the direction of Johannes Tramsen . The Hamburg family Paustian acquired Gut Bredeneek in 2004 and has since opened its doors for readings, concerts and private events.
