history

Ostramondra was first mentioned in 876. The place belonged to the county of Stolberg in fiefdom of the dukes of Saxony. The Counts of Stolberg enfeoffed Hans Knauth in 1461 with Ostramondra Castle including the manor, location and jurisdiction. The noble Knauth family owned Ostramondra until 1596/1612. It followed as the owner of the castle and manor which Tangels , 1708 Heinrich von Bünau , 1770 by Sperling , 1829 Schubert and last of Krosigk .

In April 1945 the US Army occupied the place. The castle was also occupied and Karl-Dedo von Krosigk and his sister Elisabeth were evacuated. After the Americans were replaced by the Soviet occupying power in early July 1945 , the Krosigks were expropriated without compensation.

The moated castle dates from the 18th century and was expanded after 1829. The manor covered 438 hectares and consists of very large and solid farm buildings. At the time of the GDR it housed a large sheep farm. In 2010 the buildings were largely empty. The castle has been restored and is privately owned with the park.

During the Second World War 245 prisoners of war as well as women and men from Russia , Poland , Ukraine , France and Italy had to do forced labor on the manor and with peasants.
