history

The place was first mentioned in a document in 1222. It belonged to the property of the Counts of Dassel . After Nienover was sold , Duke Albrecht II pledged the estate to Wasmod von Hagen in 1309. The Knights of Hagen, who were also wealthy in Bevern , Fürstenberg , Nienover, Sohlingen , Uslar and Würgassen , died out in 1575. Therefore Meinbrexen went to Statius von Münchhausen . In 1696 the von Mansberg family , who were also wealthy in Lütmarsen and Sohlingen and had been raised to the nobility two years earlier, bought the manor and in 1699 built the manor house . Ultimately, the village was built around the estate, which, along with Derental, was the southernmost place in the Principality of Braunschweig-Wolfenbüttel .

- The mansion is part of a building complex and is partially surrounded by a moat.
- The park of the manor, in line with the fashion of the Age of Enlightenment , was laid out in the ground plan as a symbol of the teachings of the Freemasons, probably in the 18th century. The Eutin Palace Gardens are basically comparable . The park in Meinbrexen later fell into disrepair. The system of paths has been preserved in the form of a level scale as a symbol of the equality of all people, a stone tower as a symbol of strength and the ruins of a tea house . Today the park is in a phase of restoration.
