Hohenschönhausen Castle

At the end of the 15th century the noble family von Röbel built a manor house in the area, which was bought by the merchant Adam Ebersbach on July 2, 1736.

In 1817 it was bought by the Prussian Friedrich Scharnweber, a close employee of Karl August Fürst von Hardenberg, in 1890 it was sold to the banker Henry Suermondt and parceled out.

In 1893 the manor house and its area were bought by the merchant Gerhard Puchmüller, who changed the structure of the building.

In 1993/94 the city wanted to open a local museum in the castle, but the plan failed due to financial difficulties.

In 1998 the Association Hohenschönhausen Castle was founded, which bought the whole area in February 2008 and since then cares for the restoration and cultural revitalization of the manor house.
