Quatmannshof

The Quatmannshof spans 45 meters in length with timber frame walls filled with red bricks and features three protruding levels on its front gable.

Built between 1803 and 1806 in Elsten, the farmhouse was relocated to the Museum Village between 1935 and 1936, then reconstructed after fire damage in 1962.

The central hearth room of 120 square meters served as the gathering space where farmers and servants shared meals separate from the cold stable area.

The property includes multiple functional buildings such as a grain barn from 1777, cattle barn from 1770, carriage house, bakery, sheep stable, and threshing tower.

The farmer Georg Quatmann documented the construction process in his diary, noting work interruptions and the final frame raising on June 5, 1805.
