history

The Hornoldendorf estate goes back to a domain that was founded by Count Simon VI in 1610 . Founded. Before that, in 1600 he had bought a piece of land from the indebted farmer Hermeler and moved the farm from the widow of the indebted farmer Meier on May 15, 1600. Farmer Vogel's farm was added as a third farm. An inventory from January 20, 1610 lists the following possessions: On Meier's farm a house or Vorwerk, a sheepfold and a bakery, on Vogels Hof a house and a small house, on Hermelers Hof a house owned by the daughter, a bakery and a garden . There were also various lands. The administrator was Hans Adam von Hammerstein, whose ancestors came from Hammerstein Castle (on the Rhine)came from. Von Hammerstein had the building repaired from his own resources and also paid off outstanding debts of 1,000 thalers. He finally took over the domain in 1614 as a hereditary, aristocratic and state property. The background was that Count Simon owed around 700,000 thalers and von Hammerstein had granted him a loan of 12,000 thalers, which the count paid for by transferring the domain. In 1617 he expanded his estate by purchasing the Schwartzesches estate in Fromhausen from Count Simon. After his death in February 1653, the estate was inherited by his eldest son, whose name was also Hans Adam.

The strain on the farmers from the surrounding villages of Hornoldendorf, Heiligenkirchen, Berlebeck, Fromhausen and Holzhausen led to several sometimes violent disputes with the Hammersteins. So between 1644 and 1660 the so-called goat war broke out, the cause of which was the damage to the forests by goats and sheep on the manor . From 1682 to 1702 there was the battle for Schafhude, which could only be settled by a judgment from Detmold. The struggle of the peasants against easement also smoldered again and again.

In the middle of the 18th century, after financial difficulties for the Hammersteins, there was an exchange of land with farmers from the area.

The estate remained in the possession of the Hammerstein family until 1804 and then changed hands several times: First it was bought by the bailiff Brakmann from Bisperode, and in 1830 it went to Clemens Albert Cäsar. From 1858 to 1872 Ernst Kaspar Max Troost from Mülheim an der Ruhr was the owner, who in turn sold it in October 1872 to the pensioner Ebell from Hanover for 100,000 thalers. In February of the following year, the building officer Ferdinand Walbrecht from Hanover acquired the property for 120,000 thalers and bought additional land. On February 16, 1939, the farmer Ernst Oetker from Pattensen finally bought the 271 hectare estate for 900,000 Reichsmarks. It is now managed by his son Arend Oetker's property management.

Manor house, garden side

A plan from 1756 shows the moated castle on the site, which is surrounded by a moat . After the castle was demolished, the moat was filled in and the manor house that still exists today was built to the southwest of it.

The late Classical building was built in 1840 under the landowner Clemens Albert Caesar. The two-story plastered building with a hipped roof rises above the high basement . The historical dormer windows have meanwhile been replaced by skylights, but were reconstructed again after 2007. The eaves facing the garden and the courtyard are divided by seven window axes each, with flat triangular gables in the middle of the roof on both sides , with semicircular arched windows with bars . A surrounding cornice separates the first and second floors. The two-wing transom windows with shutters are on full storey height on the ground floor by rustication , -Quaderung upstairs by pilasters divided.

The entrance to the courtyard side is via an outside staircase with sandstone steps, the entrance door was replaced in 1940 by an oak door. A small balcony with iron balustrade is attached above the entrance portal. The outside staircase to the garden side was changed by the construction of a wooden veranda. The veranda and the balcony above it via three window axes form a winter garden.

Inside, the spatial structures and doors from the construction period have largely been preserved. During a renovation in 1939, the interior was upgraded with parquet floors , cove ceilings , stucco and wooden wall coverings.

The building has been a listed building since July 9, 2007.
