The "New Castle" Tylsen (also Tilsen) was built 1620-1621 by Thomas Knesebeck the Renaissance. It survived all the big wars - and the turmoil of the Second World War - was without prejudice, after the war but vandalized.
From the collection of Duncan (The publisher Alexander Duncan [1813-1897] gave out nearly 1000 views of castles and knights in Prussia seats, high-quality color lithographs, plus explanatory texts for the respective castles, their history and the families living in them) we learn interesting details about the history of the castle Tylsen:
Since the middle of the thirteenth to Tilsen century on the old castle and in eating at the nearby castle Wallstawe in the so-called Hans-Joachim-angle of the Altmark, bought 1354 the out of this line (the red gripping claw on the coats of arms) originating Paridam of the Knesebeck to Tilsen associated country and subjects of Gebhard von Alvensleve, which seems to have been also established in the area until then.
Up to the year 1375 mentioned only a castle of Tilsen, "but then a second was built, the Wall later crowned with palisades and double hook was, and lived in both houses until 1726 two Familien.Während the ongoing feuds between Lüneburg Dukes, the Margrave of Brandenburg and the bishops of Magdeburg was besieged many times and especially at the beginning of the Thirty Years War by the Imperial "terrible" looted, was Thomas of the Knesebeck, Governor of the Altmark, Chur Brandenburg Privy Council, 1621, the now existing new lock on the point of the second castle was built, while also remaining old castle used to wirth scientific purposes
Over the portal of the new palace is following inscription:.
"Anno Domini 1621 domum hanc Thomas a Knesebeck veteris Marchia Praeses non sibi, jam seni capulari et ad migrandum accincto, sed suis et qui futuri sunt filiis posteris cum bono Deo a fundamentis exstruxit et in suae pro illis sollicitudinis memoriam reliquit: qua ut in hac peregrinationis valle utantur et ad coelestem patriam semper creati ac intenti sint, hortatur ac precatur, cum hoc voto eos valere acsequi jubet."
Die Besitzer des Schlosses zu Tilsen haben vielfach höhere Aemter sowohl in Churbrandenburgischen als Lüneburgischen Staats- und Kriegsdiensten bekleidet, und starb die eigentliche Tilsener Linie (Greifsklaue) mit dem Domherrn Krafft Paridam von dem Knesebeck 1822 aus, wodurch das Gut (nachdem es durch Gesetzgebung der Westphälischen Regierung aufgehört hatte, ein Lehn zu sein) auf den späteren Feldmarschall Carl Friedrich von the Knesebeck, as the next agnates, and whose descendants went on.
Castle Tilsen, within its walls to the roof up lists of granite boulders, is by the current owner, Alfred von dem Knesebeck, Royal Captain retired, was in the years 1854-56 renovirt from the ground up. Among the sights of the great against 4000 morning surface of the manor Tilsen include the container on the field marks of the farm Wötzer large burial mounds, that a 130 feet long and 20 paces wide, at an elevation, is characterized by the colossal dimensions of this used granite blocks.

The founding of the village of the Slavs attributed to the Tylsen populated 800th The first written mention of it came Tylsen 956, Otto I as the pen gave Quedlinburg six villages, including the self-identical Tylsen Tulci. Even in 1178 Tylsen belonged to the monastery, later adding the monastery of St. Ludgeri in Helmstedt and 1238 consisted of Tylsen fief of the Counts of Osterburg. The latter were replaced by the von Alvensleben, which eventually followed in 1354 by the Knesebeck. This lüneburg-Altmärkische family stayed until the expropriation of 1945 in Tylsen and produced many high Prussian officials and officers. Was originally created as a place Tylsen village, but developed through the construction of a castle and the influx of peasants into a village street. The castle was built from 1134 to 1170 in the north-west of the village. In its place later farm buildings were built in 1620-21 and also the so-called "New Castle", a magnificent Renaissance palace, which was unfortunately destroyed after the Second World War.
On www.altmarkgeschichte.de the website you can find the transcript of an interesting talk by Ulf Frommhagen, which also finds the castle Tylsen mention:
The most comprehensive intervention in the remaining but still rich in architectural culture of the Altmark, the expropriation wave after the Second World War and the subsequent widespread neglect of the buildings. The continuing post-war decline of the East German cultural monuments was intended. With the "War on the palaces," the unofficial slogan, began a planned destruction of the stately homes in East Germany. Under the pretext of wanting to win all kinds of building materials for new construction sites, had the party executive the SED and the state governments in the forties, the instruction issued to grind as many manor houses and castles.
The formal basis for this was the command 204 of the Supreme Chief of the Soviet Military Administration in Germany (SMAD) of 9 September 1947.Doch which would have required not even the German Communists had already begun in early obedience to destroy locks in order, as they called it, "the rest of the Junkers" exterminate. It was all about the question tearing or flaring. Pretext for the destruction was the command of Marshal Sokolovsky, he had the East German state governments to build 37,000 houses in the new economy commanded. Ideologically glorified images of horror were built up over the members of the nobility in German history. Distinction have been identified members of the aristocracy with "robber barons, militants and fascists." Their dispossession and the destruction of their country houses celebrating the Communists as a historical fact.
In Tylsen, 15 km southwest of Salzwedel, was one of the most unfortunate for the Altmark tragedies of complete destruction of a unique Renaissance castle in the area as a result of the above command instead of 204. [...] The castle was razed many years and served as general material removal. Ultimately
are only preserved the exterior walls at the show facade remains of the south-facing side projections and the main gate with the arms of alliance. The redesigned 1890 Manor Park is completely neglected because of lack of care. efforts to secure the place of individuals in the system, including moat and park restoration, the entire ensemble together with the old castle standing and to feed in a decent way to tourism, have so far only led to confusion within the community. The battle lines have hardened, no agreement in sight.
