Bernhard VIII owned Gut W�bbel and gave it as a fief to Anton von Donop. (gave the land to a family to administer the
governmental duties and collect taxes.) The right to hold this fief was inherited by all following generations of
Donops. For over 400 years the property of W�bbel was in the possession of the family Donop.
The family history of the Donops is documented back to the year 1227. With it the history of the manor W�bbel begins.
Since this time it has continuously been in the possession of the family. In the year 1680 the building of a lock and
the system of an extensive park took place, which forms the historical beginning of the Kirchdorfes (church village)
W�bbel. In the crisis period, after the First World War, almost half of the formerly 250 hectar large possession had to
be sold, in order to satisfy the tax requirements from inheritance. In 1959, the owner T�nnies Volkmar of Donop, sold
the lock, and the beautiful old buildings of the manor were leased. It is now a resort and tourist attraction.
