The Lindenberg Castle is a mansion in the village of Lindenberg the community Dive in Brandenburg .
history
Lindenberg Castle was probably built on the remains of a previous building from the late Middle Ages . The manor belonged to the von Kracht and von Beeß families in the 17th and 18th centuries . A well-known representative of the von Beeß family was the Prussian minister and heir on Lindenberg Otto Leopold von Beeß (1690–1761), one of the von Kracht family, who was born on Lindenberg, was the former captain of the Küstrin fortress , Hildebrand von Kracht (1573 -1638).
In 1903, the manor was acquired by Wilhelm Colsman (1877–1929), a member of the Colsman entrepreneurial dynasty from the Bergisches Land . Here he developed new types of agricultural methods (e.g. the Kraftstroh-Landverfahren ) and during the First World War made a contribution to the state-organized food supply. In 1910 Colsman commissioned the Berlin landscape architect Ludwig Lesser to redesign the park.
The last owner of the manor before the expropriation was the Cologne banker and later CDU politician Robert Pferdmenges , who was largely related to the Colsman family and received Konrad Adenauer here in 1937 .
Today Lindenberg Castle is only partially inhabited.
architecture
Lindenberg Castle is a baroque two-wing building. A room with central pillars and a stairwell have survived from the late Middle Ages. In 1915 Paul Schmitthenner designed people's houses for the associated manor.
