The first cadastral map was created in 1828 and proves that another farm of Carl Dietrich Aumann (1800 +1868) stood previously on the site of today’s farm. Friedrich Aumann’s father Carl Dietrich Aumann married on the farm through his marriage to Anne Sophie Marie Louise Busse (1804 +1853) in 1827.
