The deed was issued on the castle at Werbellin, a village in the Schorfheide area to the west of the monastery.
It stretches over the German districts of Barnim, Uckermark, Märkisch-Oderland and Oberhavel and incorporates an area of 1291 square kilometers.
The Schorfheide is a UNESCO Biosphere Reserve and houses several rare animals like White-tailed Eagle, Greater Spotted Eagle, Osprey, Black Stork, European Beaver and otter.
Initially Göring planned to name the complex after his second wife Emmy "Emmyhall" like he did at Carinhall in the Schorfheide after his first wife.
