Bernhard Cossmann (1822-1910) was a German cellist. Born on May 17 in Dessau, Germany, he first studied under Theodore Muller. During his life, he worked for the Grand Opera in Paris and became acquaintances with Franz Liszt, who took him to Weimar, Germany. In 1866 Cossmann was appointed professor of cello studies at the Moscow Conservatory. However, in 1878 Cossmann helped found the Conservatoire at Hoch, where he occupied the post of teacher of cello.
