Manor Wülfel
The manor Wülfel is a former manor in what is now the Wülfel district of Hanover .
history
The village of Wülfel in the so-called Little Free area originally had several farms. The manor came into being gradually through the merging of several farms.
In 1635 Bernhard Woldern sold his farm to Erich Vinthusen, who in 1639 sold it to Philipp Lembken. In the same year Lembken also acquired the farm from the widow Lühnden. In 1660 both came into the possession of Maximilian de Madra. In 1671 she was acquired by the chamberlain, cornet of the bodyguard and later thigh and chief steward Simon de la Chevallerie. In 1671 he succeeded in relieving the Meierhof of all burdens. The result was the noble estate of Wülfel, which was confirmed on July 15, 1672 by Duke Ernst August of Braunschweig and Lüneburg as Prince of Calenberg. Johann Friedrich von Braunschweig-Calenberg freed the estate in 1676 from the jurisdiction of the Koldingen district . With the privilege granted by Duke Ernst August on March 19, 1687, it was incorporated into the Calenberg and Göttingen knighthood registers.
From 1671 to 1749, the Wülfel family estate, located at today's Wülfeler beer garden, was owned by the de la Chevallerie family . Afterwards it was acquired by the castle captain and later chief and court marshal Gottlieb Ludwig von Werpup . In addition to the noble estate, he also bought four compulsory farms, which were referred to as "von Hattorfsche Ländereien". They got their name from the secret war councilor von Hattorf, b. von Müller, received in 1701 by Frau von Sacetôt, born de la Chevallerie first bought a farm and later bought the other three. In 1733 Frau von Hattorf had the estate's house built.
The entire Werpupp property, consisting of the estate and the von Hattorf lands, was finally inherited by the wife of the Higher Appeal Court President von Wallmoden, a born von Werpupp. In 1797 the four compulsory farms were sold to the freeman Heinrich Wilhelm Bartmer. The von Wallmoden family only owned the aristocratic estate and the summer residence (the manor building) built by Frau von Hattorf, which was thus connected to the estate. The house became the castrum of the manor.
The von Wallmoden family owned the estate until 1813 . After several other changes of ownership, the estate was acquired in January 1829 by the widow of General von Oldershausen by the Fontaine family, who also bought back most of the property from 1873 to 1886.
In 1892 the estate was re-entered as "Rittergut Wülfel" in the registry of the Calenberg-Göttingen-Grubenhagenschehn knighthood.
Estate
The manor house at the southern exit of the village, a rectangular two-story residential building, the mezzanine floor of which rests on cross vaults, was built in 1733 by Frau von Hattorf. In 1852 a renovation took place. The house is surrounded by a park with gardens. The estate comprised (1912) 102 hectares 33 ares of land.
The heirs of Frau von Hattorf sold the castrum. The following owners were:
