Erdmuthe, I write the master work about the building were your family live. Maybe some of your family knows when this building was built, and by who. I know that some parts of building was destroyed "Indian room" and some parts were build when your grandfather was Senslau's owner. Maybe your family have some documents, photos, projects..? It is hard to me being asking you because there are so many things I'd like to know I' m really interested in every detail wich is related with this mansion and Senslau.

Best regards
Niina

Hi niina,

nice to hear from you again and thank you for the pictures. Today I visited my father. As I thought, it was hard for him to remember what happened about 66 and more years ago, but yes he can confirm that the pictures show the area where he was so many years before.

At first he could not commend the pictures, but when he saw picture OBRAZ 114.2.jpg his minds began to live. He remembers that this building was the horse or cow stalls. On the upper floor there must have been a large room like a hall, where a harvest party was celebrated. The people from the whole village were invited. My great-grandfather was the “sheep master” of Senslau and the sheep stalls must have been somewhere outside.

My dad even told me a little story he reminded: in 1945 when he was 14 years old, he came back to Senslau with his family and they had to work for the Russians. My father and his younger brother had to look after the cows on the field. They both fell asleep and when they finally woke up one cow was missing. My father found the cow lying spread-eagled in a field of clover. The cow ate too much of wet clover and nearly died because she was inflated! Father was afraid and told his brother to get the Russian. The Russian came, saw the cow, laughed and rammed a knife into the cow. The cow deflated and died. The following weeks they had much beef to eat. Except my father wasn’t able to eat from it …
I was surprised hearing such a story from my father. It’s not usual.

Well, but this is everything so far. Hopefully erdmuthe24 can add some more important about Senslau history.

Greetings und Gruesse,

I stumbled upon this site rather by accident and I find it so fascinating to discover that people are still talking about Senslau. Erdmuthe24 I believe we are related, your mother is my cousin and I share the Erdmuthe name as well. And now to Senslau. My father (who died in 1972 unfortunately) who, as the oldest son, would have taken over Senslau had the war not taken place. He moved to Canada in 1952 and he told many stories about his time there as a young boy. Some of his recollections include: Prince Wilhelm of Prussia would come to visit with his commoner girl-friend to Senslau because that was one of the few places they could be seen together, he remembers trying to "parachute" himself off of the tower but was prevented from doing so as his father caught him as he was almost about to launch. I have quite a few pictures of Senslau, both from the time that my father lived there as well as from a visit I took there in 2002. I would suggest that contact be made with Christian Krause who compiled a pretty comprehensive history of the Heydemann family, much of which takes place at Senslau. He has pictures, interior/exterior as well as some of the barns and outbuildings. Perhaps Erdmuthe24 could make that contact happen?

I will try to find out who the architect was of the building, but again, perhaps Erdmuthe24's uncle has information about that.

Alles Gute!!
