Lanke Castle is a former property of the von Redern counts in the village of Lanke near the Hellsee . Based on a baroque country house, it was extended and redesigned in the middle of the 19th century as a two-storey plastered building in the style of the French Renaissance by the architect Eduard Knoblauch . After transferring to Berlin ownership in 1914 and several conversions, it has been privately owned again since 2006. With the support of the Brandenburg Monument Protection Authority, the new owner had the building renovated in the period 2011-2014 for private residential purposes, for holiday apartments and for cultural use.
Building history and architecture description
Conversion of a former manor into the castle of those von Redern
When Eduard Knoblauch received the order to convert the baroque manor house, which had existed since the 17th century, into a stately palace, around 1853 he submitted ten hand drawings as a preliminary project for the new Redern Palace in Lanke to the client and new owner, Count Friedrich Wilhelm von Redern . Knoblauch included parts of the previous manor house (especially the historic Kreuzgrat cellar vaults) of the Counts von Sparr in his building plans.
Architecture and park
Since the middle of the 19th century, the main building has shown its steep hipped roofs , a three-axis central projectile and two-axis side projections, which are framed by eight corner towers. The facade design corresponds to the French Renaissance style . Around 1859 the reconstruction of the building complex with the address Lanker Dorfstrasse 9-10 was completed according to Knoblauch's plans.
In addition to the main house, the palace complex includes the old octagonal horse stable, the green house , the two-winged coach house made of brick framework in the Swiss style and the farmyard with the manager's house , distillery with chimney, cattle barn, blacksmith shop, courtyard barn and granary as well as the two stable buildings of the shepherd's farm and the shepherd's house. The style of the outbuildings was cleverly adapted to the design of the main building.
The park, which adjoins the south-west towards Hellsee, was redesigned in the style of an English landscape park based on plans by Peter Joseph Lenné , even before the palace was converted. The park is in a deep sleep and is also part of the monument ensemble. Among other things, a fountain basin and the grave on the artificial grave island of those von Wülknitz have been preserved in the park . This artificially created island forms the end of the axis garden hall of Lanke Castle - garden theater - fountain .
History of uses
1315 to 1826/27
Lanke was first mentioned in a Latin document from December 24, 1315. Around 1415, Lanke came into the possession of Biesenthal Castle and thus fell to the von Arnim family of Brandenburg. In 1620 the property was sold to Friedrich von Götze. The settlement was almost completely burned down during the Thirty Years' War. It was not until General Field Marshal Otto Christoph von Sparr zu Prenden bought the Lankes farms, which had been abandoned as a result of the Thirty Years' War, from Electress Luise Henriette and merged them to form a farm. After his death in 1668 the property became the property of the von Happe families - who built the first permanent knight's seat with stately buildings. The following owners were the families von Holwede 1763/64 and von Wülknitz (1783). Major Hans Heinrich Otto von Wülknitz set up a permanent family Fidei-Commiss in Lanke. His only son, Heinrich Otto von Wülknitz, decided to sell Gut Lanke in 1826.
1827 to 1932
In 1826/1827 Chamberlain Count Friedrich Wilhelm von Redern , Prussian officer and general manager of the Royal Theaters in Berlin, acquired Gut Lanke with the towns of Prenden, Ützdorf, Werder, Sophienstädt and Neudörfchen. Count Redern was one of the most important personalities in Berlin's intellectual life. With approx. 4,500 hectares of land, Lanke was the largest of the 45 estates owned by the entire Redern family and became the Count's favorite residence after Berlin.
The von Redern family had leased the estate and castle several times, and the mining entrepreneur Fritz von Friedlaender-Fuld had been the tenant since 1894 . In 1914, the great-grandson Count von Rederns sold the entire property, including the palace, estate, surrounding park, fields and forest areas, to the city of Berlin for 20 million marks . a. integrated into their concept of local recreation for city dwellers. Friedlaender-Fuld remained the tenant. He waived his right of first refusal, but had the city of Berlin's magistrate guarantee the right of residence and the lease for 25 years. Fritz von Friedländer-Fuld lived in Lanke Castle until his death in 1917. After that, the family only lived there in the summer months until 1932. In March 1920, the daughter Marie-Anna married the diplomat and former State Secretary of the Foreign Office Richard von Kühlmann at Lanke Castle.
1932 to 2006
During the 1930s and 1940s Schloss Lanke had an eventful history. In 1939 the Reich Labor Service was housed in the premises , from June 1945 a military hospital and in the same year a Soviet headquarters. In 1947 it was decided to convert it into a hospital. Lanke, which as previously Gutsverwaltung Lanke the Berlin city property was subject GmbH, was established in 1949 to folklore Lanke . When it was opened as a hospital on January 12, 1951, the facility was named after Gertrud Seele , the nurse and resistance fighter . After the hospital was closed in 1966, the castle stood empty for two years, then it was used as a branch of the Eberswalde district hospital with predominantly nursing tasks and used until the 1990s.
After the nursing home moved out in the late 1990s, the buildings stood empty for several years. In 2005, the State of Berlin rented the palace ensemble to the Temporär eV association for temporary use, which organized cultural events here in the summer but did not develop any activities for the maintenance of the buildings or the park.
Since 2006
The palace was finally sold by the State of Berlin and has been privately owned since 2006. It was renovated between 2011 and 2014 in accordance with a listed building. In addition to the living areas, a salon for cultural events and holiday apartments were created.
In the park against the backdrop of the palace, individual events have already taken place with the support of the new owners, such as photo and film recordings or a benefit jazz concert in the summer of 2009, which raised funds for the restoration of the chapel of the Lanker Friedhof. Other such events are planned.
Lanke Castle was used as the location for the film Settlement of a Thing in 2013 .
The private commitment to the renovation of Lanke Castle ensures both the preservation of the listed complex and the contact with the Lanke residents and their guests.
