Gentzrode must have had some type of curse on it as many well-laid plans regarding this place fell through. Beginning with Carl von Diebitch's son, Ludwig: after moving to the estate, he wanted a castle-like mansion with beautiful landscaped gardens surrounding it and a family mausoleum. It was completed in 1876-1877 but was far more expensive than what he anticipated, which ruined him and caused the family's bankruptcy. It then passed through several owners, a couple of which only owned it for a year or less. One of the owners had hoped to grow sugar beets but failed because of poor soil quality. After falling into the hands of the Nazis, it eventually fell into ruin when the Russian army dispersed.
