Wendisch Baggendorf Manor House
A manor house in Wendisch-Baggendorf was documented in writing in 1719. The house was reached through a gate into the courtyard, which was planted with lindens. This house received a new façade in 1762 and was renovated in 1922. During the night of February 8, 1991 the roof was completely burnt out. The damage to the entire house caused by the fire and the firefighting operations was so complete, that only the foundation could later be used for the building of a new house.
In 1322 the estate was partly in the hands of the von Barnekow family, and in 1483 in those of the von Schwerins. The Speckins, von Brauns, von Göhrens, and von Baerenfels also owned sections. In 1719 a von Engelbrecht acquired most of the village. At the beginning of the nineteenth century the von Homeyers had their seat here; they sold in 1823 to August Melms. In 1860 Graf (Count) von Keffenbrink acquired the estate, which finally went in 1877 to Carl Joachim Hacker, who built the underperforming property into a successful and modern enterprise. His son Wilhelm Hacker successfully led the business until 1945.
After the end of World War II the family had to move out of the manor house and left eastern Germany shortly thereafter for the west.
During East German times there were nine apartments and a sales outlet in the house. In the 1970s an investigation revealed that the plaster of the half-timbered building was peeling badly and that the front entry exhibited deep vertical cracks. The investigator recommended demolishing the house. But for unknown reasons this did not occur.
Wilhelm Hacker died in Munich in 1965 and was buried in the Hacker family plot in the cemetery of Baggendorf church.
