Golfbaan: Rittergut Rothenberger Haus


The Rittergut Rothenberger Haus was for many centuries part of the formerly very important landed property of the barons v. Minnigerode.

However, it has apparently always been only secondary commodities, either the neighboring estate Wollershausen or located in the district Worbis good Silkerode. In the Ritterschaftsmatrikel of 1920, it appears for the first time as an independent estate, which was with Wollershausen in one hand.

In 1939 it was acquired by the farmer and horse trader Heinrich Aschoff from Desingerode. This transferred it in 1945 to his daughter Mathilde, who was married to Heinrich Schulze-Niehoff.

From her in 1968 her son Klaus Schulze-Niehoff took over the then 180 ha 59 a large estate. In the meantime, he has acquired around 180 ha and has always managed and managed it himself.
Klaus Schulze-Niehoff and his wife Eva-Maria Schulze-Niehoff converted an 80-hectare area near the farm site, consisting of farmland, into a golf course in 1994/95. The 18-hole course, which is located in a landscape that is unmistakeably unique, still has about 15 jobs to date and has about 550 members.

The owner of the property has today been in the hands of his nephew Peter Schulze-Niehoff, who has been running the farm of his father Heinrich Schulze-Niehoff, Klaus Schulze-Niehoff's older brother, in Desingerode, near Duderstadt, for a long time.

A former stable building was rebuilt for the purposes of the golf club and now serves as a clubhouse. The no longer needed other farm buildings have already been demolished when taken over by the current owner. The two-storey timber-framed mansion, dating to around 1700, is still the home of the owner family.
The company will remain family owned. His younger daughter and his son-in-law Johanna and Constantin Elsner v. Malsburg are both active in the business and will continue to do so in the long term.
