Trenthorst Manor

Trenthorst was first documented in 1372 as part of the endowment for a vicarage at St. Johann auf dem Sande. In 1529, the property became private. Gottschalk von Stiten placed Trenthorst and Wulmenau under the protection of the Lübeck Council in 1594. After his death without heirs, his sister Margareta and her husband Joachim Wetken inherited the estate, a possession confirmed by Emperor Rudolf II in 1608. Thomas Wetken was elevated to the nobility in 1660. The estate changed hands several times in the 18th century until it was acquired by Henning von Rumohr in 1778. His elder brother, Henning Heinrich von Rumohr, took over Trenthorst in 1804. Through the marriage of his daughter Friederike, the estate came into the possession of Councillor Gustav Poel. After further changes in ownership, Friedrich Bölck acquired the property in 1928.
