Well

The estate in Orpensdorf had its heyday at the beginning of the 18th century, which was not least due to the improvement efforts of the then landlord, war and domain councilor Gustav Falcke (1693–1743). In particular, it was about the drainage of the annually flooded stretches of land on the Elbe , which the Prussian architect, construction officer and hydraulic engineering expert Friedrich Wilhelm Diterichs commissioned.

Anna Katharina Diterichs, b. Kraatz, used Falcke; Engraving from 1769.

In addition to Orpensdorf, the neighboring villages of Flessau, Schmersau, Wollenrade and parts of Rönnebeck belonged to Falcke's estate. The landlord also held the position of senior judge at the Altmark High Court in Stendal.

After Falcke's death, Diterichs, who had good personal relationships with the family during Falcke's lifetime, married his widow Anna Katharina (1702–1767) in 1744. The deceased and his wife had donated money for the building of a church in Orpensdorf in a "mutual will" in addition to other donations after they both died. As the landlord's successor, Diterichs tackled the new building planned to replace the old church, which was in danger of collapsing, and completed it within a few months.

In the 1930s, Robert Salomon was able to purchase the highly indebted estate in Orpensdorf on a pension basis. The family was expropriated in 1945 as part of the land reform . The family was able to gradually buy back the former manor from 1991. The family has run it as a farm since 1992.

At the beginning of the 20th century, there were two windmills on the road to Schmersau.

Culture and sights

Orpensdorf Church

The local cemetery is located in the churchyard.

church

The church was built at the western end of the village in the immediate vicinity of the manor complex with the manor house. As the latest of the churches built by Friedrich Wilhelm Diterichs, it is in many ways similar to the Buch Palace Church in Berlin, but is much simpler due to the limited financial resources.

The main room of the evangelical church with its octagonal floor plan is connected to tombs and towers of equal length in an east-west direction, so that from the outside the impression of a long house is created. Diterichs, as a Baroque architect, found the way to the Prussian Rococo style , to which he remained faithful for decades, in the building, which was consistently designed using classic, stricter architectural forms .

Diterichs died in Orpensdorf in 1782 and was buried in the vault of his manor and patronage church.

Renovation work on the roof and facade of the church is planned for autumn 2019. The church is to be available as a wedding church in the future.

Personalities

One of the Altmark personalities born in Orpensdorf was the royal Prussian lieutenant general and politician Hermann von Lüderitz (1814–1889).
