The former Prestewitz manor (2009)

The former manor Prestewitz is a monument in the Prestewitz district in the small town of Uebigau-Wahrenbrück in the Elbe-Elster district in southern Brandenburg . The building can be found here to the west of what is now the center of Prestewitz.

history

The existence of a manor in Prestewitz can be proven as early as 1600 under the aristocratic family von Brandenstein , who had been living in Neudeck Castle 14 kilometers north-west since 1504 . In the Middle Ages, this noble family sat in many places in Thuringia and so they became one of the wealthiest families in the area in the Elbe-Elster area, as their tax registers documented. Siegmund von Brandenstein, at that time also the owner of Neudeck, was enfeoffed with Prestewitz in 1558.

One of his sons, Georg Siegmund von Brandenstein, who later lived in Liebenwerda, finally inherited the property in Prestewitz. Three of the originally fourteen Hufner estates in Prestewitz were merged into one manor, and so in 1618 the church visits included 11 Hufner, 3 gardeners and Brandenstein's estates . In the period that followed, further changes of ownership took place. First, Brandenstein's widow was named as the owner, later his brother Georg Friedrich von Brandenstein .

Offense

After the Thirty Years' War , which, as in the entire Elbe-Elster region, also left severe damage in Prestewitz, Carl Rudolph von Dehnen-Rothfelsen appears as the owner in 1672 . And in 1697 Julius Caesar Pflug acquired the manor for 9,600 guilders and leased it for three years for 1,350 guilders. Then it changed hands again in 1700 for 11,200 guilders. Nine years later, Christoph Damm von Milkau appears as the manor owner in Prestewitz.

On July 22nd, 1806, the manor was sold by Christian August Schulze for 46,000 Reichstaler with the issuance of a feudal letter to Johann Adam Schumann. Schumann owes the establishment of the Prestewitz district of Anstraß , which he named after his wife Anna. He also founded a school in Prestewitz, because this settlement grew very quickly and there was an increase in population in Prestewitz. Before that, the local children had to go to school in the northern village of Rothstein . He appointed his administrator as the first teacher.

Around 1903 the manor was converted into a hunting lodge by Leipzig architect Georg Willy von Zimmermann , who had since become the owner. Originally, the converted building was the old manor distillery, which dates back to the second half of the 18th century. It is a massive two-storey plastered brick building with a crooked hip roof . On the ground floor, three of the four rooms are spanned by a groin vault. The redesign also affected the outdoor area. Among other things, this was given a roundabout, which is no longer available in this form, as a forecourt and complex horticultural facilities flanked the main building on the left and right.

The historical building is currently used as a residential building.
