Coat of arms of those of Cosel

Cosel is the name of a Brandenburg - Prussian noble family .

There is no regular relationship to the Saxon gentlemen von Cossel or the family of Countess Cosel .

history

The family line begins with Hans Cossel (Kausel), 1541 citizen in Lindow .

In 1643 Andreas Cossel (around 1605–1673) was court renter of Brandenburg. On December 5, 1653, he was appointed to the Privy Councilor of Justice as a councilor and court rentmaster, while maintaining the charge of the chamber council. In 1656 he set up freight shipping on the Spree and Havel, with his own and rented ships between Kersdorf and Hamburg.

On May 23, 1667, he was raised to the nobility by Emperor Leopold I as a court chamber judge and councilor for the Kurbrandenburg region . On July 25, 1668, he received a confirmation diploma from Elector Friedrich Wilhelm von Brandenburg .

Andreas Cossel had already been released from his offices in 1654 due to old age, but was still listed as a secret councilor at the court chamber in 1671.

Estates

Andreas von Cosel (around 1605–1673) had owned his Gut Rosenwinkel in Prignitz from 1661 as a pawnbroker or leaseholder. In addition, he already owned a house in Berlin as a freedman .

His descendant, the Prussian Secret Chancellery and Prime Lieutenant a. D. Sigismund von Cosel (1831–1895) was the master of Wilkowo near Buk in the Samter district .
