history

In 1705 the grain wholesaler Christian Linden , son of a pastor, from Stettin , was bought by the Swedish King Karl XII. ennobled for his services as an army supplier in the Great Northern War and enfeoffed with the Broock , Tellin , Hohenbüssow, Buchholz and Siedenbüssow estates in Swedish Pomerania . His son Karl was married to a sister of the later Field Marshal Kurt Christoph von Schwerin . After the Peace of Stockholm in 1720 the possessions came under Prussian sovereignty and those of Linden became Prussian subjects.

The property was divided among his three sons by settlement in 1733. In 1763 the goods were allodified . Christian Bogislaw von Linden got Broock , Hohenbüssow and Buchholz. The war council Detlof Gustav Friedrich von Linden received Siedenbüssow and Tellin. Karl Friedrich von Linden owned Bartow , Pritzenow, Daberkow , Wietzow and from 1776 Tützpatz . In 1778/79 he had a baroque manor house built in Tützpatz .

In 1785 a Fideikommiss was set up. Since none of the three brothers had male descendants, after Karl Friedrich's death in 1785, the property fell to his nephew Friedrich Georg Christian von Heyden, who founded the von Heyden-Linden family .
