Sights and culture
Buildings
Liebenberg Castle
Liebenberg Castle was built in 1745 and later described by Theodor Fontane . In addition to the manor house, it includes the lake house on the Große-Lankesee, manor complexes and a landscape park designed by Peter Joseph Lenné . A well-known former landlord was Philipp zu Eulenburg (1847–1921), who received Kaiser Wilhelm II in Liebenberg for several imperial hunts and was later involved in the Harden-Eulenburg affair . During the Second World War, the resistance group Rote Kapelle met under his granddaughter Libertas Schulze-Boysen in the Seehaus.
After 1945 Liebenberg became a model estate and recreation center of the Socialist Unity Party of Germany (SED). Today the castle, restored by the Deutsche Kreditbank Foundation for Social Engagement, houses a conference center. The house chapel of the castle was named Libertas Chapel in 1994 . Two memorial plaques there remember her murder in 1942.
Hoppenrade Castle
Hoppenrade Castle is one of the most important baroque complexes in Brandenburg. It was built on the foundations of a moated castle , which Hans von Bredow probably had built in the second half of the 15th century. In 1460 the castle came into the possession of the von Bredow family . Since 1541 at the latest, Hoppenrade was the knight's seat of the von Bredow family and had a chapel . In 1723 the previous building was demolished and the mansion was then built as a single-storey three-wing complex. The village church was housed in the right side wing. In 1800 a second floor was added to the Corps de Logis .
In 1788 Hoppenrade, together with Bredow's Löwenberg Castle , came into the possession of the von Arnstedt family , and that with considerable inheritance disputes by Charlotte von Kraut , married von Arnstedt. Theodor Fontane deals with the life and scandals of Kraut's daughter Charlotte von Kraut (1726–1819) in his work Five Castles . Fontane visited the castle for the first time in 1861. In 2007, the novel Effi Briest was filmed at Fontanes Castle .
1860–1872 the estate belonged to the von Heyden-Linden family , then to the barons of Werthern until the expropriation in 1945 . In the GDR, the castle housed the council of the community, consumption, youth club, community hall, the pub and a fruit collection point. In 2012 it was bought by Julian Graf von Hardenberg and his wife Donata.
Löwenberg Church
The Löwenberg Church belongs to the Evangelical Church District Upper Havelland of the Evangelical Church . It is an early Gothic field stone building with a retracted choir and a broad tower (height 19.5 m, area 86.4 m²) on the west side. The oldest parts of the church date from the 13th century. In the Thirty Years' War devastated the church was only in 1730 repaired again and largely redesigned. A fire in 1808 completely destroyed the church, including much of the church records. The financial situation of Löwenberg initially did not allow any reconstruction, so that the burned-out ruins shaped the center of the village for decades. The church could not be rebuilt until 1832. The broad tower was equipped with a gable roof, the windows were made smaller and the choir was provided with an emergency ceiling. The churchyard, enclosed by a high stone wall, which had previously served as the last resting place of the Löwenbergs for 600 years, was closed after the reconstruction. In 1835 the church received a new organ , made by Lüdchemüller from Frankfurt (Oder) . During the First World War , the church bells had to be melted down. The last restoration took place from 1987 to 1992.
