North of the village Altenkrempe leads from the highway in the Gutsachse a 300 m long lime tree avenue and a subsequent, flanked by high walls driveway through the gate arch on the courtyard of Hasselburg. Formerly protective moats still partially surround the building complex today and separate the manor and the court of honor from each other. In the magnificent gatehouse and the magnificent staircase hall of the mansion, Hasselburg has two unique works of estate architecture in Schleswig-Holstein.
HISTELBURG GUT HASSELBURG
Around 1450 owners of the Buchwaldts are first mentioned on Hasselburg. Around 1570 Hans Rantzau built here in the shelter of the inaccessible and swampy lowlands of the Neustädter Binnenwassers in the style of a medieval moated castle a typical Holstein semi-detached house with standing in front, round stair tower as a mansion.
In 1666, Count Gerhard von Dernath, who came from Holland, acquired the estate. His son Gerhard II von Dernath has the Rantzausche Wasserburg rebuilt by the Hamburg architect Johann Nikolaus Kuhn. Thus, in 1710, over the cross vaults of the old castle, the front building of today's manor house is joined by a two-storey 12 x 13 m hall that occupies one third of the interior of the building and is used as a hallway, staircase, ballroom and representation room. On both sides, staircases lead up to a wrap-around gallery upstairs.
THE MENS HOUSE GOOD HASSELBURG
Count Gerhard II of Dernath built after 1710 on the cross vault of a Rantzauschen Wasserburg the front building of today's mansion. One third of the interior of the entire complex is occupied by a large two-storey hall with a double-flighted staircase and a circular gallery. It serves as a hallway, stairwell, ballroom and representation room. The exterior of the manor house is changed in 1804 Classicist.
The great hall is a unique work of late Baroque architecture in our country. In illusionist illusory architecture, the sky opens on a flat mirrored vault and shows Count Dernath, who receives the victorious weapons from the goddess of victory enthroned on a cloud. On the smaller vault of the front building, angels carry the Dernath coat of arms to the sky.
In the Hasselburg Hall, after 1710, powerful baroque stucco works with semi-figural atlases and caryatids were created over the staircases and heavy portrait busts on the supraports. Around 1763, the remaining walls are decorated with light and elegant rococo stucco. In 1804 the mansion receives its simple classicist appearance.
THE TORHAUS GOOD HASSELBURG
In 1763, George Greggenhofer built the gatehouse, which opens with its diverging side wings against the courtyard. The stately two-story gate ride lives on the extremely powerful outline of the building, which pivots with powerful convex swing over the roof ledge from the vertical to the horizontal, after a short interruption in concave counter-swing in the vertical of the lantern continue to rise. From the dynamically raised lantern dome from a strong, wedge-shaped tip pushes upwards.
THE REETSCHEUNE GOOD HASSELBURG
On the north side of the building yard stands the mighty thatched barn with white frames at round arch gates and ox eyes. In 1761 Greggenhofer built the large, beautiful northern barn with its huge thatched roof over low longitudinal walls and with the basic dimensions of 72 x 24 meters.
The numerous round arched gates and ox eyes give the building a lively appearance with its white frames.
GOOD HASSELBURG 1977 TO 2010
1977 leases Andreas Beurmann mansion, north barn and park.
As a musician and musicologist, he appreciates the incomparable acoustics of the great hall and restores the staircase with the gallery threatened by the collapse, using a great deal of resources. Today, public concerts, opera performances and other cultural and charitable events take place in the large hall and the beautiful, old barn. The mansion and the cavalier houses are privately inhabited.
