Rittergut Oberlosa
The 1904 manor of a noble estate first recorded in 1583, with two lakes and a forest directly behind it, in a sought-after setting on the edge of Plauen — brought back to life as eight turnkey apartments.
The project · Genesis
A German noble manor, brought back to life.
The manor is part of a German noble estate (Herrenhaus eines Rittergutes), built in 1904 in Oberlosa, a sought-after location on the edge of Plauen, with two lakes and a forest directly behind it. The ensemble is listed as a cultural monument (Kulturdenkmal) under Obj.-Dok.-Nr. 09301238, recognised by the Landesamt für Denkmalpflege Sachsen and confirmed by the city of Plauen. The main building is to be fully restored under the monument-protection regime (Denkmalschutz) and converted into a residential ensemble of eight apartments, each with its own land-register folio (Grundbuch), plus twelve parking spaces. The historic character — the symmetrical façade, the central portal with its balcony, the mansard roof with dormers — will be preserved, while the building's energy fabric is brought up to a high efficiency standard. Each unit will have its own outdoor space — terrace or balcony — and the attic apartments are arranged over two levels, with a studio under the roof ridge (Spitzboden).
The Oberlosa estate (Rittergut Oberlosa) is documented from around 1583. Across the centuries it passed through several German noble families: in 1663 it figured as a chamber estate (Kammergut) of Duke Moritz von Sachsen zu Zeitz, and in 1699 the brothers Adam Liebmann and Joachim Friedrich von Beust received it in fief (Lehen) from the Duke of Saxony-Zeitz. From them the estate passed to the baronial von Müffling family. The first owner from that family was General Heinrich Ferdinand von Müffling — founder of the castle at Reusa (Schloss Reusa) and its adjoining funerary chapel — who built, right at the entrance to Oberlosa from Plauen, a residence for the widows and unmarried daughters of the family (Wittwen- und Fräuleinsitz). The estate then passed to privy councillor (Geheimrat) Friedrich Wilhelm Gottlieb von Müffling and to Lieutenant Carl Friedrich Alexander von Müffling; on his death in 1804 it was inherited by his daughter Ida, and in 1819 it was sold at auction to the merchant Hartenstein of Plauen. The manor house that survives today (Herrenhaus) was raised in 1904 by the Zeidler family, owners of the estate from 1901: a representative three-storey building with a symmetrical façade, a central portal with balcony and a mansard roof with dormers, set in a park with two lakes and an avenue. After the 1945 expropriation, the manor housed an agricultural school, and from 1956 it came under the management of an agricultural cooperative (Landwirtschaftliche Produktionsgenossenschaft, LPG). Today the manor, the wall with its gate onto the park, and the park itself form a listed cultural monument (Kulturdenkmal, Obj.-Dok.-Nr. 09301238) of architectural-historical and local-historical significance, under the German monument-protection law (Sächsisches Denkmalschutzgesetz) — and now begins a second chapter, as an ensemble of eight restored residences.

Rittergut Oberlosa — Herrenhaus
Built 1904 · 8 apartments
The manor house (Herrenhaus) is a representative 1904 building with a symmetrical rendered façade, corners and surrounds accented in stone, a central stone portal with a balcony above, arched windows at ground level and a mansard roof with dormers. The built volume is 3,807.9 m³, with a usable area of 881.8 m². The building rises over five levels — basement (Keller) with technical and storage space, ground floor, first floor, attic and roof ridge (Spitzboden) — and is to be fully restored under the monument-protection regime (Denkmalschutz), preserving the façade and the historic elements. The result is eight apartments, each with its own land-register folio (Grundbuch): two on the ground floor with a terrace, three on the first floor with a balcony, and three in the attic arranged over two levels (maisonette), with a bright studio under the roof ridge (Spitzboden). Ceilings reach up to 3.40 m on the main levels, and each apartment has its own outdoor space — terrace or balcony. The energy fabric will be brought to a modern standard (heat pump, insulation, new windows and heat-recovery ventilation), and the whole ensemble sits in a sought-after setting on the edge of Plauen, with two lakes and a forest behind it, to which residents have direct access.

Quality · Sanierung
Restoring the monument.
The full restoration (Generalsanierung) of the manor will be carried out under the supervision of the monument authority (Denkmalschutzbehörde) and in accordance with the notarised construction specification (Baubeschreibung). Kraftmar GmbH coordinates the project as developer (Bauträger) and general contractor (Generalunternehmer). All materials and works comply with the recognised rules of the trade and DIN standards. For design and independent quality assurance, the project is overseen by a third-party technical expert: Thomas Schafferhans (Gutachter- und Planungsbüro Milau) — the project designer (Entwurfsverfasser), an authorised expert (Sachverständiger) and site supervisor specialised in monument compliance, who designs and supervises Klardenkmal's monument projects. Schafferhans certifies each MaBV payment stage against the plan — an additional layer of protection for the buyer.
Envelope & energy efficiency
Insulation of the roof, floor slabs and external walls from the inside (Innendämmung) — the historic façade stays untouched, per the monument regime. Triple-glazed windows, heat-recovery ventilation and a heat pump. Heating energy demand drops to c. 17 kWh/m²a — a modern energy standard.
Façade & monument
The symmetrical façade, the central portal and the historic elements will be restored and preserved under the monument authority's approval. The timber windows are executed to its specifications, in keeping with the building's 1904 character.
Roof & ridge
New slate roof covering (Schiefer), dormers and thermal insulation. Under the roof ridge (Spitzboden), the studios of the top-level maisonette apartments are to be created.
Structure & slabs
Concrete and screed works, plasterboard partitions (Trockenbau) and fine Q3 plaster, with the necessary reinforcements per the structural design.
Bathrooms & sanitary
Level-access showers, wall-hung WCs and white sanitaryware, with quality fittings. New stainless-steel or composite water pipes, thermally insulated to standard.
Heating & electrical
Heat-pump plant and underfloor heating, with individual meters per apartment. Fully new electrical installation.
Fire safety & security
A fire-protection concept, smoke detectors throughout, a burglar-resistant entrance door and a lightning-protection system (Blitzschutz), per current requirements.
Secured payments
The purchase proceeds under the German Property Developers' Ordinance (Makler- und Bauträgerverordnung): the price is paid in instalments, tied to confirmed construction stages, with buyer protection — each instalment paid only after it is independently certified by Thomas Schafferhans. The only binding commitment is the notarised purchase contract (notarieller Kaufvertrag).
