The oldest farm building in Rotenburg (Wümme) County, “Eckes Hus Ostereistedt,” offers a tour that delves into its history, architectural changes over centuries, and preservation efforts for future generations. Since 1989, a group of volunteers has worked tirelessly to save this structure from decay and demolition, earning the name “Eckes Hus” a respected place among North German farm building enthusiasts. The origin of the name remains uncertain; one theory suggests it may be linked to an early owner named Eckehardt or Eike, while another posits it refers to the building's location at the edge of the old village (Ecke in German). The farm building measures 12.5 meters wide and 26 meters long, classifying it as a large Niedersächisches Hallenhaus, or Low Saxon hall house, characterized by its two-post construction featuring two rows of large upright posts. Dating back to the mid-16th century, Eckes Hus has remarkably survived for 460 years with minimal alterations. It remains on its original site and is recognized as the oldest completely extant farm building in Rotenburg (Wümme) County, situated between Bremen and Hamburg.
