Muthagen Manor (Geilenkirchen)

Muthagen Estate is located on Federal Highway 221 in Geilenkirchen-Boscheln, south of Breill Castle. The existing buildings of the complex date from the 17th to 18th centuries.

The property was first mentioned in 1292 with Christian von Muthagen. After 1400, it belonged to a Gryn von Aldenhoven, in 1452 to a Thewis von dem Balken, and between 1460 and 1470 to a Seitz von Horrich. The owners in the 16th century were Qurin von Brempt (1515), Franz von Ferken (1593), and Adam von Hochkirchen (1593). In the 17th century, Wallraf von Schaellert (1608) and the von Hülsberg family (1618) appear as owners. In 1740, Muthagen came into the possession of the Counts von Goltstein, who sold the estate in 1820 to Mr. Fremery from Eupen. Later, a Mr. Meyers is listed as the owner. Around 1873, Muthagen came into the possession of the Justice of the Peace and Prussian District Administrator Bernhard Paul Friedrich Hugo von Scheibler and his family.

Since 1931, the estate has been owned by the Schulte-Böcker family, originally from Westphalia, who operate an equestrian center and stud farm there.
