	Barn of a farm	Street of Youth 1 (map)	1897, according to information	Large clay corrugated building in a location that characterizes the townscape, part of the old village center of Güntheritz, significance in terms of building and local history. Clay barn with saddle roof in clay corrugation construction, large gate openings on the courtyard side, side gable in brickwork. The barn is part of the town center development of the former manor village Güntheritz (incorporated into Rackwitz since 1938) and stands in a location that defines the townscape at the confluence of Straße der Jugend and Leipziger Straße. It belongs to a large farm and forms its north-west side, the rest of the building stock of the farm is of no monument value. The barn is an elongated building (approx. 40 m long) in a solid clay wave construction, as the exposed long sides impressively show. The base consists of quarry stone masonry, finished with a brick roll layer. The high, solid base area ensures that the clay walls are adequately protected from moisture. A high pitched roof covers the building. The pointed gables are made of brickwork and plastered. The street front is completely closed, two large gates open on the courtyard side. The wall above the gates is made of timber. The garage extension on the east side is apparently a lot younger. The barn was not only a granary, but also served to store other crops (potato cellar). According to information from the farm owner, the building was built in 1897. The barn is an important testimony to the rural way of life and construction of bygone times in the region, it indicates that the north-west Saxon area, which is poor in natural stone deposits, used to be primarily a clay building region. With these aspects in mind, the property acquires significance in terms of local and regional history and building history. Added to this is its location, which characterizes the townscape, through which it develops a special public effect and increases its visual value, especially with regard to its construction method, which characterizes the cultural landscape.	08972504

After several changes of ownership, it came from the Sahrer von Sahr family in 1764 to Dr. Johann Jacob Volkmann. In 1819 the estate was sold to Johann Christian Friedrich Weber and in 1858 it was inherited or married to Friedrich Ernst von Busse, who later became a member of the Reichstag and President of the Saxony Chamber of Agriculture . The park and mansion were probably built during the second half of the 18th century. Around 1850 to 1860 the manor house was expanded, and the park apparently underwent further changes in the years around 1900. After 1945 the estate served as an agricultural school and later as an agricultural training center.	09306960

Detailed memorial texts

1. ↑ Gutspark Güntheritz: The Güntheritz manor has been almost entirely in civil ownership since the 17th century. The manor house is said to have been built under the descendants (?) Of Georg Ernst Moßbach from 1748 (according to DIVIS around 1770?). Immediately after the later transfer (after several previous changes of ownership) to Martin Rudolph Oberländer (1898), a new building (or conversion?) And probably also the design of the estate park took place. With the establishment of the school complex around 1965, the manor again underwent structural changes.
   • Development / paving:
     • The manor park extends as a small landscape area south of the watercourse of the Lober or south of the manor house, which is traversed approximately in an east-west direction by a footpath (renewed in water-bound construction with edging made of concrete lawn edging stones).
     • The immediate surroundings of the mansion have been modernized, floor coverings in concrete pavement or lawn grating, in the courtyard north of the mansion (today's schoolyard) a raised bed with seating walls made of red bricks with bench supports (perhaps an element of the open space design of the 1960s / 1970s?).
   • Soil modeling / waters:
     • a pond-like widening of the Lober, which was previously shown on topographic maps, no longer exists, today it is crossed over a modern bridge
     • in the southeast a small hill as a striking soil model (on it an older horse chestnut)
   • Vegetation:
     • loose hardwood population, in the eastern area some red beeches (Fagus sylvativca) as old trees, also individual specimens of horse chestnut (Aesculus hippocastanum), hornbeam (Carpinus betulus), silver maple (Acer saccharinum) and black locust (Robinia pseudoacacia)
     • on the road to Podelwitz (road of youth) as the southern end of the park a plane tree avenue
   • Views: View to the south front of the manor house from different sections of the park path
   • Interpretation / assessment: The manor park shows the main features of a small landscape area in the style of the late 19th century or the time around the turn of the century. As part of the Güntheritz manor, the complex is of local and garden historical importance.
2. ↑ Zschortau cemetery:
   • Enclosure:
     • Gate on Eilenburger Straße with three pillars made of rustic granite blocks with pyramidal covers and wrought iron gate and gate
     • sections of hornbeam hedges along the borders (but probably of more recent origin)
   • Development / paving:
     • Main axis from the gate on Eilenburger Straße to the chapel, ending in a roundabout
     • all paths in water-bound construction
   • Vegetation:
     • some horse chestnuts in a regular arrangement flanking the gate on the outside
     • Main axis as Linden-Allee
     • Fallen memorial on the roundabout surrounded by some silver spruce (Picea pungens) and birch (Betula pendula)
   • Furnishing:
     • Memorial to the fallen of World War I / the community of Zschortau on the raised lawn of the roundabout in the main axis
     • Memorial stone for the fallen of the Werbellin community at the chapel
3. ↑ Manor park of the manor Zschortau upper part:
   • Enclosure:
     • Main gate (northeastern gate) on Lindenstrasse, simple pillars with spherical attachments, iron gate wings, laterally iron fences over wall plinth and with wall pillars (plastered, renewed)
     • North-western gate on Lindenstrasse, three lower pillars similar to the main gate, modern bars and subsequent fencing
     • Wall around the farm garden (eastern border) made of red brick masonry over rubble stone base (renewed), entrance gate in the southeast with spherical attachments and two-winged lattice gate (renewed) as well as separate access gate on Schmiedestrasse in a similar design
   • Development / paving:
     • Generous driveway from the main gate at the manor house (roundabout), connected to the passage to the gate on Schmiedestrasse, roads in the vicinity of the manor house and parking lot modern paved (concrete pavement, natural stone pavement on the manor house, passage water bound)
     • Park paths at the manor house in water-bound construction with side edging made of large paving stones (modern), other paths in the park in the area are understandable, but not particularly developed (not yet repaired)
   • Soil modeling / waters:
     • elongated park pond with a small island
     • southwest of the pond there is a conspicuous hill with a "plateau place" on the east side, light soil modeling in the area around the hill, dam in the southern part of the park (hill and dam are supposed to document an older fortification as tower hill, rampart and ditch / Schwedenschanze)
   • Vegetation:
     • Deciduous trees, some stately oaks (Quercus robur) or their now partly weathered stumps as the probably oldest trees in the park
     • On the roundabout or in the subsequent areas or in the bank areas of the pond, some dendrological features such as copper beech (Fagus sylvatica f. purpurea), columnar oak (Quercus robur 'Fastigiata') and plane tree (Platanus hybrida), individual yews ( Taxus baccata)
   • Furnishing:
     • at the yellow house on the passage a pedestal made of red brick masonry with a ring made of sandstone at the end (younger version?), historical installation site of the sandstone memorial column in memory of the wedding of Johanne Charlotte nee Volkmann with Gottlieb Wilhelm von Vangerow (1791), the column is now stored
     • Accumulation of boulders / quarry stones around a slight elevation in the ground (with conspicuous wood growth) east of the hill, according to the measurement table from 1907 probably the location of a small building (garden house?)
   • Views:
     • different views over the roundabout to the manor house, visual inclusion of the gardener's house and the yellow house
     • Views of the mansion and the hill from the banks of the pond, originally looking through from the mansion to the west (continued as an avenue outside the park before 1945)
     • View to the tower of the Zschortau church
   • Interpretation / evaluation: With regard to the connection with Johann Jacob Volkmann (1732–1803) as owner of the property and initiator of the park, the Zschortau manor park is of particular importance in terms of garden history. Volkmann traveled to various European countries at the end of the 18th century, his travelogues gained great popularity and were among others. a. read by Goethe, Lessing and Prince Louis Ferdinand of Prussia. He was familiar with numerous garden creations by the English garden designer Capability Brown from his own experience and studied the relevant specialist literature (including by Thomas Whately ). It can be assumed that this knowledge significantly influenced his own gardens in Zschortau, but was also spread among the numerous visitors. The garden, but also the place as a contemporary meeting point, probably assumed a special position in relation to the dissemination of knowledge about garden design in the landscape (English) style during the "period of the early landscape garden" in Central Germany. In its current state, the Zschortau Manor Park still shows traits of its character, as described in retrospective descriptions (based on contemporary sources?) In L. Volkmann's family chronicle (1895) for the period during the park's founder’s lifetime. Changes in the late 19th and early 20th centuries also determine the appearance of the complex today. In addition to this historical garden value, the manor park as part of the former manor is of local historical importance (with regard to the position of some of the owners, even beyond the regional framework).
