HISTORICAL INFORMATION ABOUT LOCATION & HOUSE / STRUCTURAL INFORMATION / PREPARATORY WORK:

zettemin is a municipality in the district ‚Mecklenburgische seenplatte‘ in MV. It is located away from the main routes, but still centrally between the Müritz, the Malchiner See & the Kummerower See and has around 200 inhabitants.

the village of Z. (cethemyn) is located approx. 10 km south of the Reuter town of Stavenhagen and was first mentioned in a document in 1261. Due to the later construction of an estate, it developed into an estate village.

the townscape is characterized by the zettemin manor house (also called ‚Schloss Z.‘ or ‚der Rundbau‘ in the literature), which was built in 1750 as a symmetrically laid out complex in the late Baroque style with a seven-axis central building (corps de logis). brick was built, each of which is adjoined by a two-story side wing in a quarter circle.

the main house is designed as a three - (or 4) - story building with a gabled central projection and a high hipped roof (9.5 meter high mansard), and is under monument-protection - positive preliminary discussions with the competent authority have already been held…     

the former manor complex was completed by a courtyard in a southerly direction with 6 larger agricultural buildings (barns, stables & storage buildings).

this unique ensemble has recently been destroyed by the successors of the ‚treuhand‘ in that the outbuildings were dismantled 

although the overall complex was kept architecturally rather simple, its unique design made it one of the more important baroque estates in the country due to its unique design among all the country's manor houses and its location, design and size.

the former inner courtyard of the complex is now adorned with a large boulder with the inscription ‚1261 cethemyn / 2001 zettemin‘, and was given its striking new name during the GDR era: ‚place of peace‘…

the directly adjacent landscape park, which was created on the former outer side, is listed as a historical monument and was built in the first half of the 19th century. JH created according to plans by Peter-Joseph Lenné.

also noteworthy is the position of the entire complex on a slight ‚top‘ with a clear view of the surrounding Ice Age landscape.

2 small ponds from the time of construction still exist, and instead of the former estate garden with a tree nursery, there is now an allotment garden owned by the community. 

the former estate initially belonged to the dargun monastery, which in turn was a founding of the Danish monastery esrom, and which later had the Eldena monastery complex near Greifswald, which is well worth seeing, built.

what is interesting is the fact that the Z. and RMH cathedral estates were built from this time. as an exclave from Pomerania to Mecklenburg. territory was preserved until 1939.

after the estate was built in 1750 by the noble von maltzahn family based in the region, especially at Kumme-rower see (moltzahn, sommersdorf, kummerow, in ivenack & klein helle, later also in Vollratsruhe & ulrichshusen), it belonged to the family from 1852 heyden-linden before it was built during the 19th century. Century fell to the Counts of Schwerin, who did well (with around 100 hectares) until the end of the 2nd century. WK and were expropriated as a noble family by the Soviet administrators.

the ensemble then fell to the local community, at which time apartments were built into the two side wings and a crèche, school rooms and various public facilities, such as a bank branch, hairdresser, village shop (‚consumption‘), military sports group and a village exhibition were set up in the main building.

in 2004, the municipality sold the manor house for the purpose of building 'assisted living' before the new owner was able to purchase it in 2020 for the purposes of the multi-generational project ‚7-E‘.

since then, extensive preparatory work has been carried out here (dismantling of outbuildings, various renovations, dismantling of defective inventories, maintenance of green spaces, planning, etc.)

detailed information about og points (floor map / floor plans etc.) on request!

ACQUISITION / USE IN THE NETWORK / PARTICIPATION AS A COOPERATION PARTNER:

in Z., the initiator (or a new owner) is to carry out extensive energy-saving renovations and project-related modernizations in the period from 2024 to 2025.

IMPORTANT: Due to individual, existing inquiries, the attractive and cost-effective option in the 'schloß Z.' manor house is only individual parts of the property (e.g. only the main house or one of the two side wings, with areas from 800, 1000 or. 1,200 sqm) - purchase prices in this case 279,000 / 309,000 or. €339,000!

what is noteworthy in this context is that the Z. manor house offers the special opportunity to secure outstanding historical buildings of feudal origin in its existence within a social housing project, and to provide it with (again) a ‚public function with the means and objectives of ‘seven oaks‚. to return and at the same time design one of the country's leading project houses through community work.

note: the entry about a partial property of the municipality of Z. found in individual portals about the history of manor houses is incorrect or outdated, only the 'head part' of the right side wing, (house no. 60 / recognizable by the newer wood - / lattice windows) is privately owned as a holiday apartment (use approx. 3-7 days per year, possible purchase with current owners already mentioned)!

purchase of additional residential buildings, e.g. for employees or additional guest rooms 

(1 – 3 properties of 4 residential units on a large natural plot, approx. 1 hectare)

as well as 4 other natural and building plots of various sizes (up to 1 ha. /            

some parts of the former estate) are currently offered by the community and privately!

info on request…

note on the floor plans shown in the advertisement ('ohne-makler.net' / advertisement OM- 214698):

the present divisions of the rooms and residential units are the result of many usage methods that have changed over the course of 270 years – 

from a coach house to a workshop, common room, warehouse, cold room, daycare center, classroom, office, service provider, bank branch, ‚gymnasium‘, exhibition room, aristocratic representative salons to more recent living areas…

during this period, the building underwent various minor renovations and major redesigns;

for example, of the former 7 outer doors of the right side wing, 4 are currently still there, and of the 9 wing doors / remote gates & house entrances of the SFL, only 4 are currently still in use –when restored, there is direct access to the private ‚front garden area‘ in the courtyard…

with appropriate planning or adaptation to modern living requirements (e.g. supplemented by the installation of large roof windows, opening of radial WE with the creation of transverse viewing axes =view of the courtyard and park side of the house), these could be converted into completely individual, modern spatial divisions, practices, offices & residential units with good lighting, functional ‚cross-connections‘ & special room solutions can be redesigned!

barrier-free living and practice areas can be set up, particularly in the right wing, with an exit or view to the park and courtyard side on both sides! 

during construction, there were also 1 - 3 side passages per floor between the main house and the two side wings, of which only one is currently available/usable.

in the attic area of the SFR (3rd level) there are 8 rooms & installations of various sizes (formerly granary, smoke & saddle room, ‚servants' room‘ etc.), which are used for further use as a means of protecting the existence, for example for guest rooms or ELW in the ambience of a historic & invite a cozy mansard roof…

further, interesting additions to the existing ensemble result from the following structural redesigns, which will only be briefly hinted at here:

• ‚calming down‘ or greening the property area towards the park, gardens & field by removing the bypass (lane) while retaining the parking area
• construction of 2 large terraces, following the sun's path (N/O = park side + B/W = courtyard side, each in front of the contact area / facade of the main house = approx. 200 sqm each) - supplementary, semi-open building in a wood/glass combination with the functions:
• lower level = parking / charging point / utility rooms / garden equipment
• middle level = relaxation area / communal area / open VA area / view in valley with peene passage…
• upper level = weather protection or glass facade of the side wing accessed by spiral staircase / access to developed LOFT area of the left side wing!
• through P-places & access guide access for visitors & residents of the house via ‚central axis‘ / former. Courtyard of the estate towards the main entrance, offices & restaurants
• if necessary, with the reconstruction of a previous tree circle (linden), round pavilion or fountain-like, long river…

conclusion: due to its above-average structural condition, the manor house ‚Z. Castle‘ offers the basis for being transformed into an extremely interesting, multifunctional, ‚networked‘ structural ensemble using sometimes simple technical and constructive measures.

appropriate preliminary planning already exists or is often explained within the existing building structure in terms of its practical feasibility.

Option to purchase, lease or special use agreement with owner (municipality): 

Recommendation: Since, as far as we know, plans are currently pending for a historically faithful overhaul of the park with new plantings, restoration of the baroque visual axis, etc., as well as a dismantling order from the state monument protection authority in Schwerin = dismantling of illegally constructed sheds, fences and garages, by the owner must be carried out, it is advisable to wait for this work to be completed and then - or after completion of renovation & Renovation of the manor house - to approach the municipality or the administration acting for it in Stavenhagen with its own plans.

Of the dozen existing allotment gardens - annual rent supposedly 18 €! - currently only 2 are used, the public right to use the park is practically not exercised in any way by the village population, so that in recent years we have been able to carry out all of the project's own events there completely undisturbed or without any participation in the operational expenses for the park.

The 3 natural properties directly opposite from the area of the former estate come from private individuals, the 1-Ha (pasture) property is offered by the municipality - the same applies to the 3 nearby residential buildings (4 WE each) on your own, larger natural property…
