Abstract
The Bothmer Castle is the biggest baroque complex in Mecklenburg-Vorpommern. It was built from 1726 to 1732 and used and maintained until 1945 by the family von Bothmer. From 1945 to 1948 it served as a field hospital, and until 1994 as a nursing home, almost without any maintenance. During that period the wooden constructions suffered a number of serious damages. Since the year 2000 the status assessment and a heritage friendly remediation was initiated by the owner, the government of Mecklenburg-Vorpommern. The report deals with the applied non-destructive and minimal-invasive testing of the wooden structures (ultrasonic investigations, endoscopy, resistography, core extraction and testing etc.) as to yield a clear picture of their status and summarizes the gained results. Furthermore, the remediation concept, developed in cooperation with the preservation authority and the owner, is presented as well as some details of its execution.
