history
Lehsen was first mentioned in 1233 in the Ratzeburg tithe register in the parish of Wittenburg. Only in the Bede register of 1496 were 16 families named in to Lessen (Lehsen) again.
In the Middle Ages Lehsen was a fief of the von Blücher family until 1690 . In 1635 Heinrich von Blücher asked the duke for permission to fell 100 oak trees in Eickmanßhorst . In 1638 permission came with the note that the intended ruined fiefdom Gut Lehsen would be helped again . The former manor was located near today's mausoleum.
From 1690, the von Laffert family from Braunschweig and Wolfenbüttel acquired land in western Mecklenburg.
1701 received the court and secret chamber Wigand von Laffert the Lehn letter for the Lehsen estate. After the Fideikommiss was established in 1723, the von Laffert family owned the estate for another six generations. Under Hofrat Ludolph Friedrich von Laffert , whose father Gotthard Leonhard von Laffert had also bought the Dammereez fiefdom in 1769 , there were far-reaching changes in Lehsen. The von Laffert family ran a tree nursery on Lehsen, the Laffert plantation with fruit trees and rare tree species. His son Chamberlain Ernst August von Laffert auf Lehsen, Garlitz, Wittorf and Dannenbüttel had the new manor house built in 1822 by the Danish master builder and architect Joseph Christian Lillie , who lived in Lübeck . Six lodging houses were built in the park, along with coach houses and stables. In addition to a dining room, the new restaurant building also had a billiard room, a reading room and a toilet room. Nearby was the gym with a bowling alley, a wave pool and the ice cellar. By means of the existing cold water source, the director JH Rausse was able to offer water cures in the water sanatorium from 1847.
After that were included in the Mecklenburg knighthood from Laffert 1801, they had to be included in the noble to 1889 eight of its subsidiaries from 1803 convent in Kloster Dobbertin in the local Einschreibebuch to register.
In 1899 the farmer Wilhelm Jäger from Düsseldorf bought the estate for 735,000 marks. Several changes of ownership followed until the merchant Dr. Otto Sprenger from Vaduz leased the property to the Deutsche Scholle Regional Administration Society . In 1937 the settlement society took over the entire estate.
At the end of the Second World War, the manor house was used for refugees, displaced persons and later as a district children's home. From 1970 it was the seat of the municipal administration, the agricultural production cooperative (LPG) and the cooperative plant production department (KAP) Wittenburg.
In Lehsen an LPG Free Youth Type III was only formed in 1955 and in 1958 only 20 percent of the agricultural area of the municipality was cultivated by the LPG. In 1957 the community had 349 inhabitants and in 1962 339 inhabitants. After the union with the LPG Schildenal Camin, the KAP Wittenburg-Camin was formed in 1976.
On the occasion of the second park festival on the day of the cooperative farmer, the municipal council took the decision in June 1977 to reconstruct the entire park and palace complex. For the orangery, which was demolished after 1950 because of its dilapidation, a music pavilion with a free dance area had been created and 52 trailers full of mud were removed from the park pond in order to get clear water again. The inner and outer reconstruction of the former manor house was carried out from 1977 onwards based on proposals from the then Institute for the Preservation of Monuments of the GDR. Even the clock on the gable triangle was repaired.
Due to lack of use, the building was empty after the fall of the Wall until 1999, after which it was extensively renovated and has been inhabited again since 2004.
On May 25, 2014 Lehsen was incorporated into Wittenburg together with Körchow .
Attractions
- The elegant Lehsen mansion stands as a two-storey plastered building with nine axes on a low basement with polished granite blocks. The upstream arbor has a two-step flight of stairs. The courtyard facade is structured by a three-axis central projection, the portico with four colossal columns of the Tuscan order ends with a relatively flat triangular gable. The dial with the clock was added after 1880. A retracted four-step staircase leads to the vestibule with a sophisticated facade design (stylistically like the Schönfeld manor ).
