geography
The Ringhofen estate is located on the northern outskirts of Mühlberg in the direction of Wechmar on state road 1045 south of federal motorway 4 . The place is located in Central Thuringia on the southern edge of the Thuringian Basin in the area of the castles Drei Gleichen .
history
The farm is said to have been built in the 10th century as the outskirts of Gleichen Castle . In the literature, the first documentary mention on March 9, 1249 is documented. After the Count von Gleichen died out in 1631, the Hatzfelder were their successors, until this family also died out in 1793. Ringhofen now came to Kurmainz and was affiliated with the Mühlberg office in the Erfurt state . In 1802 Ringhofen became Prussian and in 1806 part of the French principality of Erfurt . From 1815 the place belonged as part of the Mühlberg exclave to the Prussian district of Erfurt in the administrative district of Erfurt .
In 1816, the Prussian King Friedrich Wilhelm III. the manor Ringhofen, next to the castle Gleichen and its Vorwerk Freudenthal to the then colonel and later field marshal Karl von Müffling . This had done particularly well in the wars of liberation against Napoleon . He had the Ringhofen manor expanded considerably and turned it into a handsome manor with an English park. After Karl von Müffling's death, it was managed and inhabited by his successors. In 1920, the then owner of Müffling was taken there by the revolutionary soldiers at the former military training area in Ohrdruf and threatened with shooting several times. Thereupon the shocked family decided to move to Munich: "I'm going because Thuringia will definitely come back into the hands of the Reds". The estate was sold to the Church and Social Fund in 1926. The management was carried out by tenants. 1945 came the expropriation, and later the LPG "Bauernfreiheit Mühlberg" took over the property. There was no maintenance and the buildings fell into disrepair. There is no longer a mansion. The former park has been considerably thinned.
Today the estate, which was renovated after the fall of the Wall, is a riding stables and a golf resort with a restaurant and hotel.
