history

The family first appeared in a document in 1216 with Heinricus de Kuzebude and 1237 with Meinhold von Kozinbude . The family line begins in 1425 with the Prussian Rittmeister and Fideikommissherrn Carl von Kospoth on Schilbach and Seubtendorf . The family spread in the Vogtland as well as to Silesia, Prussia and Mecklenburg.

Possessions

The family was based in Thuringia on Schilbach , Seubtendorf , Wölfis and Burgau . In 1764 in the Saxon Vogtland came into the possession of the family through heir Leubnitz bei Plauen. Heinrich Wilhelm von Kospoth built the late Baroque Leubnitz Castle here in 1794 , which was owned by the family until it was expropriated in 1945. Around 1800 Mühltroff Castle was also temporarily owned by Count Kospoth.

In Lower Silesia the Fideikommiss Briese , founded in 1729, existed with Grünhof, Hönigern , Kritschen , Crompusch , Zantoch and Mittel-Mühlatschütz (together 4,641 hectares). From the middle of the 18th century to 1862, the Schlesisch Halbau estate was also owned by the family.
