Rothspalk Manor

In Rothspalk, the von Maltzahn (Moltzan) family was originally settled. In 1693, Rothspalk was purchased by Clemens Heinrich von Thomstorf, in whose family it remained until 1811. Johann Freiherr von Moeller-Lilienstern, from a Swedish family, acquired the estate and had the new manor house built in the Neoclassical style. It was redesigned in 1811 by the architect Joseph Ramée and completed by 1815; the supervising architect was probably Buisson. The manor house is a single-story plastered building with 13 axes and a raised basement. The courtyard facade is particularly emphasized by a wide, two-story, five-axis central risalit with a profiled triangular gable. In 1928, Siegfried Schulz bought the bankrupt knight's estate. After his death in 1944, his wife, Elsbeth Schulz, was the sole heir. In 1930, alterations were made to the manor house and the attic was renovated by the Paul Korff rural construction office from Laage. In 1945, the owners were forcibly dispossessed and expelled by the communists.

In 1949, the clock tower was still located on the ridge of the hip roof. The two-flight curved outdoor staircase in front of it was also removed. During GDR times, refugees were initially housed in the manor house, after which it became a school and later used as storage space for a Magdeburg factory. After reunification, Dr. Andreas Schulz, grandson of the last owner, bought back parts of the estate in 1998, but without the manor house. This was acquired in 1997 by the Radons family, who sold it in 2001. Since February 7, 2011, the manor house has been back in private ownership. The owner is the Uhlenbrock family, who have faithfully renovated the manor house.
