history

Niebendorf was first mentioned in a document in 1405. Its inhabitants lived from agriculture for many centuries. The existence of an estate sheep farm on the northeastern edge of the village has been handed down as early as the 18th century . In 1850 , Commissioner Ferdinand Adolph Schulz, from Petkus , bought the estate. Schulz, who had made a certain fortune as the manager of the Baruther Glashütte , had a sheepfold built around 1863. After the end of the Second World War , the associated manor was demolished and the arable land was distributed to new farmers and resettlers. In 1953 a local agricultural enterprise (ÖLB) was established, later an agricultural production cooperative (LPG), which used the building as a technical base after a merger of several LPGs in 1969.

After the fall of the Berlin Wall , the publicly owned land went to the Treuhandanstalt and from there to the BVVG from 1995 . She sold parts of the estate, including the sheepfold. The building was listed in 1997 and was used as a stable for up to 250 sheep until April 2002. In September 2002 an association took over the building, which renovated it and has since then used it for cultural and sporting events. The German Foundation for Monument Protection made funds available for the restoration in 2014.
