Estates and Architectural History in the Municipality

Teschendorf is a locality in the municipality of Broderstorf. There, the former Teschendorf estate has been designated a conservation area by ordinance; the area includes historic streets and routes. The manor house is a single-storey, Neo-Baroque stucco building with eleven bays. Its richly decorated central avant-corps has three bays and two storeys and is flanked by Corinthian colossal columns. Its façade can be viewed in terms of its structure and the prominent central section. The manor house was built in 1830 and acquired its present appearance around 1900. The estate is a characteristic example of a Mecklenburg estate, preserved with rare completeness; its form is rooted in medieval predecessors and took shape in the modern era.

Steinfeld and Öftenhäven also add their own points in time to the municipality’s local history. Steinfeld was first mentioned in a document on 13 May 1334; the Steinfeld estate had been a domain since 1781. Öftenhäven Manor House was remodelled by 1918, as indicated by the tower’s weather vane. It stood empty for many years after 1990 and was later renovated by a new owner. These histories of construction and use therefore extend beyond Broderstorf’s early mention.

Landscape and Nearby Cycle Path

The municipality of Broderstorf lies on a plateau between the valleys of the Warnow and Recknitz rivers. The Carbäk stream flows east to west through the municipal area. Nearby, a 1,690-metre-long and 2.5-metre-wide cycle path opened on 18 June 2026. It connects Thulendorf to the existing cycle path along the B110 from Sanitz to Rostock and ends right by Carbäk Primary School. From Thulendorf, it makes it easier to get to the train station, the municipal administration in Broderstorf and Rostock. If you are planning a specific cycling trip, check the condition of the infrastructure beforehand.

Rostock as a Wider Travel Destination

At Wildpark-MV, visitors can explore the park independently or join guided wolf, owl and evening walks.
