The Diermissen house in Uetersen

The Diermissen-Haus is a listed building in Uetersen , Pinneberg district .

The building is a three-storey Wilhelminian-style building from 1877 with a brick facade. What is striking about the building is the asymmetrical arrangement of the entrance and the protruding staircase with stepped gables on the left. From 1878 it was the home of the Low German author and folklorist Johannes Diermissen and his future wife, the Uetersen monastery priest Countess Charlotte von Rantzau . In this house Diermissen collected and wrote hundreds of stories, Low German verses and rhymes, which he published in the Itzehoer Nachrichten , in the Hamburgischer Correspondenten and in the yearbooks for Schleswig-Holstein regional studies. At the age of 70 Johannes Diermissen died lonely and abandoned in this house in 1893. Then a “Atelier for Dentists” was set up on the ground floor. Later it was used purely as a residential building. In 1984 a roof fire destroyed the upper part of the building. As a result, the roof structure was converted into an attic.

The building is a listed building because of its historical and urban value as a cultural monument .
