The name Doese goes back to the word can, which stands for a soft and light moor. Like the name Hollerdeich, this term comes from the time of Dutch colonization. The Hollerdeich used to be the back dike that protected the lower marshland from flooding from the moor and was built by the Dutch colonists in the 12th century.
There used to be three estates in Doese. Augustin von Goeben is believed to be the first owner of Gut Döse I in the 16th century. The von Goeben family expanded their lands over the decades through regular acquisitions. In 1758, for example, they bought Gut II so that Doese I and II were merged into one. At the end of the 18th century, the estate was transferred from Hinrich Christian von Goeben to Captain Georg von der Betten from Wechtern.
In 1819, the unmarried Benedict Christian von derdecke bequeathed the estate to Count Franz Julius von Plate. After his death, bankruptcy was opened for his estate, in the course of which it passed to Count Johann Friedrich von der Betten.
After the owner Volkmar von derdecke returned from captivity in 1949, he and the estate were accepted into the knighthood in which the estate is still located today.
The listed manor house, a two-column building, was built by Christian and Wilhelma von Goeben in 1777 and carefully restored in 1998. Gut Doese is currently owned by Dr. George from the ceiling.
