Rittergut Pommritz/Pomorcy, Manor estate in Hochkirch, Germany.

Rittergut Pommritz is a manor estate in Hochkirch with several traditional buildings arranged around a central courtyard and surrounded by fields and meadows. The structures show typical features of German farm complexes, with a main residence, barns, and storage buildings from different periods.

The village of Pommritz was first mentioned in 1359; the estate itself appears as "Rittergut Pommritz" in 1653 and passed through several noble families. Around 1800 it came to the von Zenker family, ennobled in 1821. In 1863 the directorate of the Agricultural Bank of the Margraviate of Upper Lusatia bought it and turned it into the Agricultural-Chemical Research Institute.

The estate's name recalls the village of Pommritz, first recorded in 1359, and its 1653 mention as a Rittergut. From 1863 it housed the Agricultural Chemical Research Institute, and in 1919 Georg Derlitzki turned it into a centre for farm labour science, where the "Pommritzen" beet-harvesting technique was developed. Since 1993 the LebensGut Pommritz has hosted projects in organic farming, philosophy and social ecology.

Visitors can explore the grounds and renovated buildings, with some areas available for events and educational programs. The best time to visit is during special events or guided tours that show what life on a historic estate was like.

The estate houses a philosophy experience center called Sophia, displaying about 70 different philosophical approaches and how they apply to modern life. This unusual feature blends historical heritage with contemporary thought in a rural setting.
