The von Blankenburg family had to sell the property in Wolfshagen to the baron Otto von Schwerin in 1652 due to financial difficulties. Wolfshagen thus became the ancestral seat of the Counts of Schwerin and gave the place a special cultural character

The Niederungsburg, built around 1250 on an island in the house of the von Raben family, was one of the most important Brandenburg fortifications during the border conflicts between Brandenburg, Mecklenburg and Pomerania because of its location on the border. It is documented as early as 1392 that the lords of Blankenburg were obligated to the Margraves of Brandenburg as their liege lords. Due to feuds and robber baron affairs, the Blankenburgers fell out of favor with Elector Frederick II of Brandenburg in 1456, who had Blankenburg Castle conquered. It was only because of the intercession of their friends that the lords of Blankenburg received the fief of their castle again from the elector in return for a promise to stay with Brandenburg forever. During the Thirty Years' War the Blankenburg was destroyed and remained a ruin. In the recent past, the castle wall was renovated and the moat was deepened to such an extent that it now carries water all the time
