location

The towing castle was a lowland castle , the south of the former borough was Iburg. It was located in what is now the Glane district of Bad Iburg . Previously, the area belonged to the peasantry Visbeck.

West of the former Schleppenburg, the federal road 51 , which is called Münsterstraße in the Bad Iburg area , leads south towards Glandorf . The road "An der Schleppenburg" leads east from the main road to the former location of the castle.

Between the main road and the former castle, the Glaner Bach flows towards the Ems . He fed the moat . A good one kilometer north is Scheventorf Castle , which was also a manor and a moated castle.

history

Two aristocratic residences in today's Osnabrück district bore the name Schleppenburg . The other one was in Alfhausen , which belongs to the joint municipality of Bersenbrück . This castle belonged to the fiefdom of the Counts of Tecklenburg . This is where the von Slepedorp family had their seat. Presumably, this family also founded the Schleppenburg in what is now Bad Iburg; it was also a Tecklenburger fief. In 1358 Iburger documents Johann von Slepedorp was mentioned. Both estates were owned by the von Sladen family around 1400. When Elseke von Sladen married Albert von Buck zu Willenburg, the Iburger Schleppenburg fell to her husband, and after him it went to their son Ludwig von Buck. The marriage of his son Johann von Buck with Anna von der Streithorst zu Streithorst remained without children.

Schleppenburg passed through Aleke von Buck, presumably Johann's sister, to her husband Ludwig von Borghorst, known as Kerstapel zu Kerstapel. The son Johann received the Schleppenburg in 1558. The castle remained in the family's possession until it was sold to Arnold Hausbrandt in 1639. This ended the feudal period for the castle and estate, and from then on they could be freely sold as an allod . Hausbrandt, Privy Councilor and Chancellor in Tecklenburger service, sold the Schleppenburg in 1651 to Johann Wilhelm von Kratz. In 1663 the Schleppenburg went to Georg Christoph von Hammerstein , court marshal of the Protestant Osnabrück prince-bishop Ernst August I. Hammerstein had already bought the neighboring Scheventorf Castle in 1662 for 9,000 thalers . Both goods did not stay in his possession for long. Together with Scheventorf and their lands, he exchanged the Schleppenburg on January 26, 1664 for the Episcopal Gut Gesmold . In this way, the prince-bishop, who resided with his family in Iburg Castle, enlarged his lands in the vicinity and provided the court with farms for the goods.

Georg Christoph von Hammerstein reserved the state parliament and other rights like hunting. In 1673 they were transferred to the Burgmannshof, the Drostenhof , in Iburg. A street name to the southeast of the castle reminds of the Drostenhof. In the State Archives Münster one is parchment -Dokument received on 31 July 1755 that the release of Elvers Cord Wiemann from the parish Lienen , who was the Domanialgütern Scheventorf and towing castle belonging by Prince Bishop Clemens August confirmed by Osnabrück.

Like Scheventorf Castle, Schleppenburg was owned by the Diocese of Osnabrück until secularization in 1803 and was then owned by domain taxation. The Schleppenburg and Scheventorf estates were incorporated into what is now the Ostfelde district of Bad Iburg in 1885 .

Schleppenburg today

The castle mansion has not been preserved; the moat was filled in. The cattle house from 1614 is still standing, as is the horse stable with living quarters from 1850. Both buildings are currently being restored. The moat is to be restored. The restoration work is supported by the Association for the Promotion of the Historic Gutsanlage Schleppenburg eV.

In September 2014 a big "historical weekend" took place at Schleppenburg. The reason was that 300 years ago the Guelphs ascended the English throne. The organizers were the King's German Legion (KGL), the “Napoleonic Society eV” and the “Förderverein Schleppenburg eV”. A special guest and patron of the event was Prince Heinrich of Hanover . A good 100 actors were involved. Battles were re-enacted on both days.
