History
The place was home to the von Ramin family for centuries until the early 1900’s when it was bought by the family of my stepfather Gerd Kelch. House Schmagerow marks the exact place of a former Manorhouse. It was the center of a typical ‘Gutshof’ an agricultural estate that consisted of stables for cattle, sheep (300) and storage, a Church, a Schoolhouse and quarters for workers and farmhands. I was told about 40 people were employed to manage a property of about 400 hectares. Most of the buildings that made up the agricultural operation collapsed due to neglect and disrepair in the 70’s and later, a common lot to homes confiscated by the communists in the so-called ‘Landreform’ after the war. Some property was bought back after the reunification of Germany by my stepfather and a new house was built in 2008. After his death my partner and I have taken over the task of hosting family and friends with great pleasure to carry on a hospitable tradition.
