"The connection to Graf Yorck and to the Kreisau Circle was for us in the years 1941-1943 [ , , , ] opportunity and attempt to get out of the Hitler regime into a fairer future to find, an opportunity to help and to participate in the fate and the future of one's own people, at the same time a help and hope It was of course the case that the hope[ nbsp] any practical success was small from day one and later with the accelerating events on the fronts - became increasingly reduced, but the fundamental still retains its value even without the possibility of putting it into action immediately ," Barbara von Borsig to the Dutch historian Ger van Roon, June 30, 1963,</ p>
The Borsig estate was an important meeting place for members of the Kreisau Circle during the Second World War. It belonged to Ernst von Borsig, a member of the Kreisau Circle. Ernst von Borsig was a member of the Prussian noble Borsig family and joined the Kreisau Circle, a resistance group against National Socialism that was organized on the Kreisau (Stobendorf) estate by Helmuth James Graf von Moltke and his wife Freya von Moltke. Like other members of the Kreisau Circle, Ernst von Borsig and his comrades-in-arms gathered at the Borsig estate to exchange political ideas, plan strategies for resistance against the National Socialist regime, and design a democratic future for Germany after the war. The meetings and activities of the Kreisau Circle, including those at the Borsig estate, had a significant influence on the development of concepts for a democratic Germany after the Second World War. Unfortunately, many members of the Kreisau Circle were arrested and executed by the Nazis, but their legacy lived on and inspired post-war Germany.
