Manor in Berlingerode
The manors in Berlingerode were several manors in Berlingerode in the northern district of Eichsfeld in Thuringia .
history
In the early Middle Ages, the area around Berlingerode belonged to the Mark Duderstadt , where the Quedlinburg monastery was wealthy, as well as the counts of Reinstein and Blankenburg , the counts of Lauterberg and Scharzfeld. These then enfeoffed local nobles with goods and villages. How the castle district Westernhagen as the southern part of the Mark and the later court Westernhagen came to the Kurmainzer archbishops from the 15th century is not exactly clear.
The noble family von Westernhagen , originally they called themselves only von Hagen, not only settled in their ancestral castle Westernhagen Castle , but family members also settled early in the surrounding places, such as Berlingerode and Teistungen . Presumably already at the time of the construction of the Westernhagen castle, they were wealthy in Berlingerode, the Hägerburg was probably the oldest complex in the village.
At the end of the 13th century, a Bruno von Berlingerode is mentioned, who was Burgmann at Gleichenstein Castle in 1288 . It is not known whether it was a local aristocratic family or a branch of the von Westernhagen family. The coat of arms of those of Berlingerode is supposed to show a leaping leopard like the Westernhagen. It is not known which estate the family sat on.

Hagerburg
In the south-eastern location of the village at the confluence of the small Sautalgraben and Finkgraben there was a square courtyard complex with a side length of around 60 m until recently, but remains of the fortifications were no longer detectable.
The original Hägerburg (or Hagen's castle) was a high medieval complex. Presumably it was not a classic castle, but a fortified manor house, where a branch of the von Hagen family lived. It was closely related to Westernhagen Castle, and some written references to Westernhagen may also refer to this place.
In a feudal letter from the Counts of Blankenburg-Reinstein-Regenstein, in addition to the castle and the village of Westernhagen, the Vorwerk Hägerburg is also mentioned. As a Vorwerk it was an advanced defensive work of the Westernhagen Castle and was mentioned several times in the 14th century. The Hägerburg was destroyed in 1525 during the Peasants' War.
In 1562 a two-storey mansion was built in half-timbered construction, as the initials "–vW1562" on a window showed. Wilhelm von Westernhagen was the owner of the Hägerburg at that time. In the 16th century the tribe of the von Westernhagen castle originated. The family sold the estate to a Ms. Vangerow in 1830, and in 1899 to a Mr. Borchardt. In 1945 the 113 hectare estate was expropriated as part of the land reform and the manor house was demolished a little later. The remaining buildings came to a state property. After 1998, renovation measures were carried out on the remaining half-timbered building.
The wall
Also between two small brooks on the southern outskirts was a medieval manor, in the 16th century it was called Wallhof. Although the name Wall- suggests a fortified structure, there is no superficial evidence of fortifications. During the construction of the current church in Berlingerode, fortifications were found that correspond to the "Wall"; so the former name; were to be assigned. The location between the two streams Hungerbergsgraben and Finkgraben indicate a moated castle. This farm was the seat of the Wall tribe, a branch of the von Westernhagen family.
Central courtyard
After the old estate changed hands frequently and was given up, Johann Kyrion built the new central courtyard southwest of Berlingerode on Pfaffenteichgraben. It consisted of a manor house and adjoining farm buildings. In 1945 the estate was expropriated with around 137 hectares of land. It was used temporarily as a school for agriculture and from 1959 as accommodation for the border soldiers and in 1963 as a border battalion headquarters. In 1987 the manor was demolished and 10 years later the stables.
Rothe Hof
Originally also owned by the von Westernhagen family, a noble fräuleinstift was opened there around 1900. In 1970 the buildings were demolished and then the new school was built.
Junkerhof
The Junkerhof or Freier Hof belonged to Junker Jobst Gieseler von Westernhagen in 1526. Before 1900 it also housed a noble fräuleinstift. The manor was used as a residential building for a long time before it was demolished around 1980.
