The Gut Springhoe is located in the SW of the municipality of Lockstedt on the former Lübschen Trade (trade route), on the mill pond which is flowed through by the Mühlenbarbeker Au. There used to be a water mill here, which was first mentioned in 1148 & was owned by the Itzehoe Monastery. Next to the mill, a manor farm also developed. Both were initially operated by the Itzehoe Monastery, but were leased out over the centuries: first the farm, then also the mill. Purchasers included various Holstein noble families such as: Ruhmor, Krummendieck, Sehestedt, Pogwisch. In 1899, the farm buildings & the mill burned down. All farm buildings except the mill were rebuilt in 1902. The mill pond was used for carp breeding. Today, the estate is a Trakehner & Lewitzer stud farm. https://www.gestuetspringhoe.de/ https://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gut_Springhoe A small rest area right by the lake invites you to take a break. And if you're lucky like us, you might see an eagle circling over the mill pond. On the grounds of the manor house, there is a Liliencron monument (German lyricist) https://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Detlev_von_Liliencron
