history

In 1303 the property was first mentioned in the "Missalbuche" ( missal ) of the Nordsteimker Church, when Knight Burchard von Marenholtz gave the Nordsteimker pastor Johann zu Steinbeke the tithe from a farm as income. 1348 Burchard received from Marenholtz the church patronage for Nordsteimke of Duke I. Magnus transmitted. In the following centuries, various lords of Marenholtz are named as owners, who over time were responsible for the entire village, with the exception of the farms of the von Steimker family.

In 1614 Friedrich Ulrich , Duke of Braunschweig and Lüneburg , enfeoffed Julius von Marenholtz with the Nordsteimker estate. His marriage to Veronica von Steinau had at least three children. The son Hans died in 1624, the daughter Gertrud (1595–1654) married Eberhard Otto von Münchhausen , a son of Statius von Münchhausen . The son Heinrich Julius von Marenholtz died in 1647 without leaving any male descendants. Since the estate was looted during the Thirty Years War , Heinrich Julius von Marenholtz had to go into debt. The main creditor was Court Marshal and Privy Councilor Frantz Julius von dem Knesebeck zu Baucke. In 1637 Frantz Julius von dem Knesebeck received from August II , Duke of Braunschweig and Lüneburg, an expectation and contingent lending to the Marenholtz'sche Gut Nordsteimke. In 1639 Heinrich Julius von Marenholtz pledged the estate to Frantz Julius von dem Knesebeck for nine years. After Heinrich Julius von Marenholtz died in 1647, Frantz Julius von dem Knesebeck received the estate as a fief in 1648.

The von dem Knesebeck family owned the estate from 1648 to 1786. In 1658 Christian Franz Ernst von dem Knesebeck († 1676), the son of Frantz Julius von dem Knesebeck, took over the estate as a fief from Duke August II. His marriage to Ursula von Veltheim from Aderstedt resulted in many children. After the death of his father, his eldest son Franz Kurt von dem Knesebeck took over the estate in 1676. In 1700 his younger brother Major Ferdinand Christoph Friedrich von dem Knesebeck was named as the owner.

18th century

From 1710 to 1738 the estate was ceded to the von Metzsch family . In 1716 the mansion , a castle - like half - timbered building with a tower, which is depicted on a copper engraving by Matthäus Merian from 1654, was demolished and replaced by a smaller new building. In 1718, 300 acres of land, a sheep farm with 500 sheep , a windmill , two fish ponds and an upper and lower court were named as possessions in a register of the property .

Later landlord was Captain Franz Aschwin Adam von dem Knesebeck (1706–1757), a son of Ferdinand Christoph Friedrich von dem Knesebeck. His first marriage to Katharina Johanne Hilmers († 1752) in 1739 resulted in several children. In 1753 he married Johanne Mener as the second wife. His son Martin Johann Ernst von dem Knesebeck, born in 1740, was the last representative of the von dem Knesebeck family on the Nordsteimke estate. During his reign, the house fell victim to a fire in November 1770, and from 1770 to 1773 he had the manor house that still exists today built as a solid structure. Due to the high financial burden caused by this new building, he sold the estate to the bailiff Christoph Friedrich Ernst in 1786, without the new manor house being completed.

Christoph Friedrich Ernst, married to Charlotte geb. Harsleben, was the tenant of the Ducal Braunschweig domain of Neuhaus . Because the manor house on Gut Nordsteimke was not yet ready for occupancy, he managed Gut Nordsteimke from his Neuhaus residence.

19th century

Nordsteimke was still the seat of a noble court around 1800 , which belonged to the Schöningen district and was abolished in the French era . Nordsteimke came from 1807 to 1813 to the canton of Bahrdorf in the Helmstedt district , in the Oker department of the Kingdom of Westphalia .

The son of Christoph Friedrich Ernst, Alexander, born in 1807, died in the following year. The daughter Bertha, born in 1809, died at the age of two, as did the son Carl, born in 1811. After these family misfortunes, combined with the cumbersome management of the Nordsteimke estate from Neuhaus, the Nordsteimke estate fell into subhastation in 1829 . After several attempts at sales and auctioning, Lieutenant Colonel von Henniges acquired the estate in 1834.

Henniges had the interior of the manor house completed, which he and his family moved into for the first time. In 1846 von Henniges sold the estate again. Buyer of goods and the connected to it Vorwerks Margarethenhof in Reislingen was Werner von der Schulenburg-Wolfsburg (1792-1861).

Werner von der Schulenburg-Wolfsburg left the Nordsteimke estate to his son Gebhard (1823–1897) as a dowry . With the death of Werner von der Schulenburg-Wolfsburg in 1861, Gebhard von der Schulenburg inherited the estate and later expanded it to a total of 343 hectares through land purchases in Reislingen . Her marriage to Margarete von der Gabelentz from the Poschwitz house (1842-1894), a daughter of Hans Conon von der Gabelentz , had five children in 1860 : Matthias (1861-1929), Anna (1863-1926, abbess in the monastery Steterburg ), Albrecht (1865–1902, professor at the Georg-August-Universität Göttingen ), Margarete (1866–1943, mother of Margarete von Hindenburg , daughter-in-law of the German President Paul von Hindenburg ) and Gebhard (1872–1936). From 1871 to 1926 the estate was leased to his inspector Carl Cordemann, under whom the estate flourished economically. In the last few years Carl Cordemann left the estate to his son.

In 1897 the estate passed to Matthias von der Schulenburg, Gebhard von der Schulenburg's eldest son. Matthias von der Schulenburg took over as Councilor in the Duchy of Brunswick an office in Blankenburg (Harz) and moved his family there. He was married to Elisabeth (1873–1953), née Countess von Sievers from Warrol ( Livonia ), since 1895 . The marriage had two children: The son Bernhard , born in 1896 , died in 1915 as a member of the cuirassier regiment "von Seydlitz" (Magdeburgisches) No. 7 in Poland during World War I , without leaving any male offspring. The daughter Margarete (1898-1958) married the professional officer Albrecht Baron Digeon von Monteton .

20th century

From 1926 on, the estate was leased to Cordemann's son-in-law, Patschzke. Due to the difficult economic times at the end of the 1920s, Patschzke gave up the estate in 1930 and emigrated to America . With the death of Matthias Graf von der Schulenburg in 1929 in Blankenburg, the estate had meanwhile passed to his widow Elisabeth Countess von der Schulenburg, who continued to live in Blankenburg. Her son-in-law, Albrecht Baron Digeon von Monteton, did not want to take over the estate. From 1930 on, Günther Graf von der Schulenburg-Wolfsburg co-managed Gut Nordsteimke from his Gut Wolfsburg .

Since he had to sell his manor Wolfsburg in 1938 for the construction of the Volkswagen factory and the “City of the KdF-Wagens”, today's Wolfsburg, he acquired the Nordsteimke estate in 1939, among other things. The Margarethenhof in Reislingen was already in the 1930s by Elisabeth Countess von der Schulenburg Hubertus Rogalla von Bieberstein been sold, it will be than today forestry depot used by the city of Wolfsburg. Elisabeth Countess von der Schulenburg last moved to Paderborn , where she died in 1953.

In 1945 Günther Graf von der Schulenburg-Wolfsburg and his family moved into the former inspector's house on the Nordsteimke manor after he fled from his castle in Neumühle (then the district of Salzwedel ) from the Red Army . Other displaced relatives also found shelter there. Around 1950 around 100 people were still employed on the estate. Two tractors and ten teams , mostly drawn by horses, some also drawn by oxen, were available for field work. Horses, cows, pigs and sheep were kept; there was also a blacksmith's shop , a wheelwright shop and a gardening shop on the estate.

On July 1, 1969, Günther Graf von der Schulenburg-Wolfsburg handed over the management of the estate to his son Günzel , as his first son Werner had died in 1962. In 1988, when Nordsteimke celebrated its 750th local anniversary, the estate staff only consisted of around eight employees. Only agriculture was carried out; except for a few horses, sheep and poultry, livestock farming had meanwhile been given up. The stables had been converted into horse stalls.

In 1998 Günzel Graf von der Schulenburg-Wolfsburg handed over the management of the estate to his eldest son, Günther Graf von der Schulenburg. In 2009, the IdeenHerd event location was set up, which was expanded in 2018 to include the Wildfrisch & Oberglücklich restaurant, which opened in the adjacent gatehouse of the estate . The boarding hotel Yard , which was set up on a part of the property, was opened in 2016 . In May 2019 the restaurant was reopened under the name Gutsküche Wildfrisch and with new tenants.

Building description

The address of the estate is Schulenburgstrasse 8–16 . This street was named after Günther Graf von der Schulenburg-Wolfsburg (1891–1985), who was made an honorary citizen of the city of Wolfsburg in 1981 .

A coat of arms stone on the northern outer wall of the material is under a crest with plume the arms of the families of the school Burg (three Adler catches), from Bartensleben (a jumping over two sheaves Wolf) and of Vincke (ploughshare). This coat of arms stone, made from Velpker sandstone in 1854 , was previously located above the fireplace in the garden hall of Wolfsburg Castle . The von der Schulenburg family has owned the Nordsteimke manor since 1846, the lords von Bartensleben were the builders of Wolfsburg Castle, from which the Nordsteimker branch of the von der Schulenburg family originated, and Luise Ernestine Charlotte Freiin von Vincke (1797–1888) married in 1818 Werner Graf von der Schulenburg-Wolfsburg, who acquired the Nordsteimke manor for the von der Schulenburg family.

The gatehouse, in which the milk room and later the game room were located, is used for gastronomy today. A former horse stable with a saddle room was expanded as a conference venue. The horse pond is in the center of the estate .

In 2016, overnight accommodation was set up in former, listed stables and sheds as well as in a new building instead of a previously demolished equipment barn. The building project designed by a Hanover architecture office was awarded the Prize for Monument Preservation of the Lower Saxony Sparkassenstiftung 2016 and the Prize max 45 - Young Architects in Lower Saxony 2017 of the Association of German Architects and was shortlisted for the Lower Saxony State Prize for Architecture 2018. The design of the outdoor facilities took over landscape architects from Berlin .
