Wilhelminenhof Estate
The lost estate of Wilhelminenhof was located about 1000 meters (0.6 miles) northwest of Strietfeld and 1400 meters (0.9 miles) southwest of Basse.
Wilhelminenhof was an outlying estate of Lühburg and was founded before 1846, when the lessee Johann Joachim Schwartz died there. The first birth in Wilhelminenhof occurred in the same year. Twenty-two inhabitants were counted in 1867, among them an estate manager.
At the end of the 1880s there were only seasonal reapers left in Wilhelminenhof. In the census of 1900 Wilhelminenhof is no longer mentioned and in 1937 it is referred to merely as undeveloped township land.
The place was colloquially referred to as “Siberia.”
