First mentioned in 1356 as Lutken Linienthin, the addition Lutken was dropped in 1574 after the neighboring town of Groß Linienthin had become a deserted town. In 1608 the estate of Linienthin was raised to the status of a knight's residence. For more than three centuries it belonged to the noble family von Zicker, until 1945 it was managed by the Klotz family from Linienthin.
If you follow the old cobblestone street in Linienthin, which leads through the village, after a small left turn, the view of the stately manor house opens up. In 2005, a community of owners around Tom Stromberg, the former director of the Hamburger Schauspielhaus, bought the house. At the time, students were rehearsing and staging, such as an open-air theater relay at the museum printing house's summer festival in 2007. After that, it became quiet about the theater academy called "What you want" after its co-founder, the well-known director Peter Zadeck, died in 2009.
