Satzkorn Manor

The manor house is located on the edge of the village on Dorfstraße. It is surrounded by fields and is situated next to a fruit farm that is still active today.

As property of the Hünicke family

In 1406, a manor in Satzkorn was first mentioned, which from 1416 was owned by the Hünicke family. At this time, the Hünickes also owned estates in nearby Kartzow, among others.
The Satzkorn legend of the three-legged hare refers to the sale of the estate by Cuno von Hünicke to a commoner in 1731. It states that Hünicke, out of anger over the sale, still haunts the village as a three-legged hare.

As property of the Brandhorst family

Johann Conrad Friedrich Brandhorst acquired the estate in 1731. Brandhorst was a barber-surgeon in the infantry regiment of Frederick William I and of common origin. In 1739, Brandhorst had the manor house rebuilt in the Baroque style, but never lived in it, as he died in Potsdam in 1740 and was buried in the village church of Satzkorn. The current form of the manor house dates from this period, while the cellar vault can be dated to the Middle Ages. Brandhorst's heirs continued to inhabit the estate and changed their family name to Brandhorst-Satzkorn in 1889.

Use as VEG

In 1945, the estate was taken over by the Red Army and served as a supply depot. In 1950, ownership was transferred to the Volkseigenes Gut (People's Own Estate) Satzkorn. In the following years, the focus increasingly shifted to fruit cultivation. Gradually, however, large tracts of land were handed over to the Landwirtschaftliche Produktionsgenossenschaft (LPG) Marquardt, from which today's Obstgut Marquardt GbR emerged.

After 1990

After the fall of the Berlin Wall, the estate was sold to private owners in 1991. Subsequently, the complex, which was placed under monument protection in April 2002, changed hands several times. Currently, the building stands empty and is in danger of falling into disrepair.

The manor house is a brick building consisting of eleven axes. On the east facade there is a richly decorated attic. The roof is a mansard hip roof.
