history

The family von der Schulenburg was in the 16th century in the desert village location Birkholz in the area of a former Wasserburg a Vorwerk building with some apartments, cattle farms and sheep farms and a mansion. During the Thirty Years War the knight's seat was badly devastated. In 1739 the knight's seat came into the possession of Levin Friedrich von Bismark auf Briest. He had the Sophienhof settlement built near Birkholz , named after his wife. Today's manor house was built in 1770 by Georg Wilhelm von Bismark . Heinrich Achaz von Bismarck , grandson of Georg Wilhelm, sold the estate to Lieutenant Emil Ballerstedt in 1856 . In 1907 a fire destroyed most of the outbuildings belonging to the manor. The estate remained in the possession of the Ballerstedt family until it was expropriated during the land reform in the Soviet occupation zone in 1945. After that, it served as refugee accommodation. After that, a primary school until 1967 and a kindergarten with crèche were housed in the building. In 1949 the classrooms were redesigned and at the same time public bathing rooms were set up for the population. During the GDR era, the Tangerhütte Forestry Office was housed in the estate. From mid-1970 a post office, the municipal administration, the mayor's office, the community nurse , the community library and the LPG office moved into the building. Since 2008 the entire estate has been privately owned again, has been renovated and is inhabited by the owners.
