The farm at and around the estate in Poing grew steadily. In 1932, there were 18 Tagwerk of land (an old German surface measure; one Tagwerk corresponds to approximately 3,408 m2), the female donkey Mina von Barnhelm, three to four cows, two horses and several pigs as well as poultry. In the aftermath of the war, Otto Eckart’s family had taken residence again in Munich. In Poing, it was mainly the gardener and his family residing in the farm building who took care of the Eckarts’ agriculture. When the gardener resigned in 1932 in order to establish his own farm, Anita and Otto decided to abandon their agricultural holding. The meadows and fields were rented out, the livestock and the deadstock were sold. That same year, the couple also decided to rent out the house no. 40 in the future, now a magnificent villa. This decision was triggered by the fact that the house had been burgled twice during the family’s long absences, though much effort was required to maintain the villa. Otto Eckart’s family continued to come to Poing in the summer and during the public holidays, from then on staying in the guest apartment on the second floor of the farm building.
