Schönefeld Manor, Manor estate from 1871 in Schönefeld district, Leipzig, Germany

Schönefeld Manor is a manor estate built in the 1870s in northeast Leipzig, featuring a two-story main building with a central tower and side wings along the garden side. The complex reflects the residential design typical of Saxon country properties from that era.

The original building was destroyed in 1813 during the Battle of Nations, followed by complete reconstruction between 1871 and 1876. This rebuilding reflected the region's recovery and development in the decades following the conflict.

The estate is named after the village of Schönefeld, not a family. From 1881 Hedwig von Eberstein turned it into the Mariannenstiftung, a foundation housing unmarried daughters of senior civil servants and military officers, who received lodging, meals and an annual allowance of 600 marks.

The grounds and buildings remain closed to the public, but the exterior can be viewed from the surrounding streets. Walking around the property allows visitors to see the full architectural design from different angles.

The estate's name comes from Hedwig von Eberstein's foundation, the Mariannenstiftung, set up in 1881 to house unmarried daughters of senior civil servants and officers; residents received lodging, full board and an annual allowance of 600 marks.
