Architecture and history

The two-story house was built in 1779 in a simple half-timbered construction . The previous building was demolished on March 4th and 5th, 1779. The new building began on March 6th, the erection on May 21st, 1779. The client and master builder was the carpenter Johann Christian Riemann. The house, which is covered with a steep gable roof , was initially covered with straw and later with tiles. The front door was far to the right in the facade. Above the door was the inscription in an oval:

Through God's support this house stands
thanks to him and the honor given.
We now go in and out.
He gives food, healthy life,
his peace spirit rules heart and minds,
we will one day go away in peace.
Because a good fight this time brings joy

Hallelujah forever

Johann Christian Riemann 1779 Sophia Elisabetha Grämern


Inside the house there was a door leading from a small Flet into the cellar and upstairs a short flight of stairs to the living room. Before that there was a corridor to the loft.

The construction costs totaled 118 Reichstaler and 23 silver groschen . Three large oaks from Groß Bartensleben were procured for the building . Six beams made of fir wood, half a shock lath and six shock lath nails were brought from Magdeburg . Quarry stones, bricks and lime came from Seehausen . The glazier Krausen from Seehausen supplied the panes of glass for the windows. The thatch used to cover the roof had been purchased from several people, including Pastor Rotherman. Since the amount bought was not enough, Riemann asked and received more straw from 13 people in Remkersleben. Of the total costs, 12 Reichstaler and 30 silver groschen are said to have been accounted for by brandy , beer and the corresponding taxes that were served to employees. Brandy was obtained from the Meyendorf Monastery , Seehausen, the Krug in Remkersleben and from Magdeburg. The Brey Han beer was obtained to a large extent from Peseckendorf but also from Remkersleben itself. In addition, half a barrel of Altbier was delivered from Neindorf .

However, the Kossatenhof itself existed before the new house was built. The previous owner was Lambert Riemann. The builder Johann Christian Riemann was his eldest son and took over the farm in 1763 with his siblings paid off. The yard also included a garden, meadows and pasture areas. Johann Christian had 7.5 acres of arable land.

The client died on April 23, 1781, only about two years after the house was built. He left his wife Sophia Elisabetha Riemann nee Grämern as well as three sons and two daughters.

In July 1908, the art historian Heinrich Bergner also recorded the monuments of Remkersleben on behalf of the Historical Commission for the Province of Saxony and Anhalt , where he listed the Kossäthenhof in addition to the Sankt Michael Church and the Trog farm .

In 1957 the building was demolished.
