Page of the Chamber Julius Diederich von der Lühe had up to 1786 been residing on the estate of Helmstorf near Tessin. During this year he gave up this property and purchased the estates Hohen Niendorf and Mechelsdorf in the district of Bukow. He farmed these until 1802 and then went to reside in Dargelütz and Vogelsang in the district of Grabow. Without relinquishing these two farms he managed to acquire the estates of Schulenberg, Allerstorf, Kneese and Fahrenhaupt (an inheritance is likely). In 1824 these were sold to the Grand-ducal demesne chamber and assigned to the Saline Administration Sülze.
