The ‘technical monument steam engine from 1875’ is the oldest steam engine in its original location in Berlin and Brandenburg - located in the context of the historically and architecturally interesting Cöthen manor, which also includes the Schinkel church, the David Gilly bakery and the schoolhouse.

The steam engine in Cöthen dating from 1875 is the oldest and largest in the Brandenburg and Berlin area according to the public list of steam engines classified by postcode by Albert Giesler (author, alongside Helmut Düntzsch and Otfried Wegenbreth, of the classic book "Die Geschichte der dampfmaschine. Historische Entwicklung, Industriegeschichte, Technische Denkmale") is actually the last of its kind and still in its original location.

Age: There are only four older steam engines from the Berlin and Brandenburg region, of which one from 1816 is exhibited in Munich in the ‘German Museum of Masterpieces of Science and Technology’, two (from 1847 and 1873) are dismantled and stored in the Berlin museums and only one from 1859 is exhibited in the Berlin Museum of Technology.

Location: There are also two older steam pumping engines, one belonging to the Sansoussi pumping station - King Friedrich Wilhelm IV wanted to assert himself against the technical supremacy of England with the steam engine there from 1842 and used it to raise a 38 metre high fountain - and one from 1873 which belongs to the Teufelssee waterworks in Berlin and is still in its original location. However, these two are clearly different in design and function as water pumps and are only accessible as part of special events.
