Zehna, Estate Steward’s House
Zehna lies 10 kilometers (6.2 miles) south of Güstrow on the edge of the Sternberger See (Sternberg Lake) Nature Park. The village is first mentioned in writing in 1291 as “Cena.”
From the 14th century to 1662 the von Passow family had its seat here, followed by the von Salas. The property was bought in 1781 by Hans Ernst Graf (Count) von Hardenberg, in 1802 by Friedrich Dietrich Joachim von Lepel, in 1805 by the von Heimrod brothers and the von Haynau siblings, and in 1820 by August Wilhelm Graf (Count) von Hessenstein. From 1833 the Kortüm family owned the estate; at the beginning of the 20th century the owner was Wilhelm Schrader, M.D. Dr. Arthur Georgi, owner of the Paul Parey Publishing Company in Berlin, bought the property in 1929; the family was dispossessed by land reform in 1945. During World War II and its aftermath many refugees found a friendly welcome on the estate. The steward’s house is a single-storey plastered building over a high cellar; at the back of the house is a water tower fronted by a power house. Also noteworthy is the almost 700-year-old fieldstone church on a hill outside the village. The park, laid out in 1930 by the Berlin landscape architect Erwin Barth, can now only be imagined.
