Manor Calbe / Saale
At Ritterstrasse No. 1 in Calbe you will find the house and courtyard of an old knight's seat, which was certainly one of the crystallization centers for the development of the city of Calbe.
Beginning in the late Middle Ages
In the 15th century, the Magdeburg archbishops converted the archbishop's Curtis near St. Stephen's Church , which had emerged from an old royal court , into free courts, which they gave as fiefs . One of them became a manor , the knight's seat with the associated courtyard in today's Ritterstrasse (formerly: Herrengasse) No. 1.
The first verifiable owners were the Knights von Hacke from a well-known noble family that produced important personalities. Now a knight's seat with its own lower jurisdiction , its own pillory and other sovereign privileges lay like an enclave in the middle of a bourgeois commune , which led to ongoing friction between the complacent junkers and the councilors .
In 1559 the manor came from the Hackes to the von Ingersleben and von Haugwitz families . In 1622 Anna Margareta von Haugwitz was born in the knightly seat of Calbe , who in 1640 married the war profiteer and later Swedish imperial marshal Carl Gustav Wrangel Graf von Salmis.
Reichenbach's manor
When the Archbishopric of Magdeburg was converted into a Kurbrandenburg duchy in 1680 and Anna Margareta's brother died childless, the manor fell to the Crown in 1684 . In 1685 it was bought by the municipal legal officer ( Syndikus ) and later mayor Johann Friedrich Reichenbach , who also owned the stately "Lemmerhof" ( today the site behind the savings bank ). After a devastating fire in 1713 , the widow Reichenbach had the knight's seat rebuilt in 1715 .
The Reichenbach heirs leased the property.
With the expansion of the Prussian estates and the consolidation of the second serfdom , there was a renewed bloom of rule in the Ritterstrasse. In the middle of the 18th century, the Calbe manor belonged to 345 acres of fields and around 10 percent of the entire Calbe livestock.
End of the knight's seat as a factory
As Napoleon Bonaparte after 1806 , the late feudal Rittergut-privileges abolished and in 1807 the serfdom in Prussia was abolished, it was also with the Reichenbach'sche Good as it was still called, downhill. Short-term owners sold the land piece by piece to interested parties, including the Douglas family of mining entrepreneurs .
In 1832 a post office moved into the spacious courtyard on Ritterstrasse and in 1870 a company for the construction of coaches and utility cars. As a result of the inflation the Wagenbau company in 1923 in the bankruptcy went, who acquired Silesian Rohkonserven entrepreneurs Grolich the site and furnished it with factories. The management staff now lived in the former knight's seat. After the takeover by the Calbian raw canned food company Albrecht in 1939 , this building was used as a tenement house. In the 1970s, now owned by the VEB “Obst und Gemüse Magdeburg” (OGEMA), the house and farm, which were only used sporadically and partially, gradually began to deteriorate.
The building was demolished in 2011.
