History+
The former manor house was built in 1906 under the direction of architect Paul Schultze-Naumburg, who gave the building a historicist style. After the end of the Second World War in 1945, the owners were expelled as part of communist expropriations. Subsequently, the building initially served as a training center for the Free German Trade Union Federation (FDGB) of the GDR. From 1969 to 1991, it housed a special needs school.
