On the property, which has been in use since 1672, at the latest since 1695, today's main house was built in 1825 by the Dresden master baker Haubold in place of an older half-timbered house . Thereafter, the property was owned by the advocate Dietrich, who sold it to the Dresden city councilor Paul Siemen . He was the owner of Übigau Castle from 1831 to 1836 . In 1854, Siemen sold to Johann Gottlieb Rahrisch from Wahnsdorf, whose widow left it to her son-in-law Johann Carl Rüdiger in 1869.

Rüdiger, who has been cultivating the associated vineyard since 1864, ran a licensed wine bar there from 1885.

In 1900 the new owner, the Dresden master tailor Carl Gustav Otto, expanded the one-room restaurant, which was popular because of the beautiful view, with a veranda and the terrace on an old stone heap. A dance hall was built in 1926.

In 1927 Georg Otto applied for a single-storey extension on the gable side. The Landesverein Sächsischer Heimatschutz , to which the building application was submitted for assessment, rejected the first draft: “We think the planning is not a happy one. The new dining room must distance itself from the main building so that it can continue to exist as a good old building. The modern designs are to be rejected. The good Lössnitz design can be brought back to life with ease. […] In view of the important matter, we ask the community to call in Mr. Architect Rometsch as a consultant. ”The second design by the architect Otto Rometsch was approved and implemented in the same year by the master builder Alwin Höhne .

In 1959 it was converted into a company holiday home for VEB Armaturenwerke Dippoldiswalde . From 1961 the property became the children's camp of the Weimar factory of the VEB Uhren- und Maschinenfabrik Ruhla , later a boarding school for the Dresden Aviation Engineering School .

After the political change, the former mountain inn was converted into a hotel with a panorama restaurant in 1992, which opened on April 1, 1994 and reopened in 2000 after renovation.

Origin of name

The name "Zum Pfeiffer" has been used for the excursion restaurant since 1891. There are various conjectures about the origin of this name.

According to one tradition, the name goes back to a Pfeifer family who lived in Wahnsdorf as early as 1571. In 1603 Andreas and Peter Pfeifer zu Wansdorf are mentioned by name.

Another tradition ascribes the name to the fact that the property was already known as "the pipe" at the beginning of the 19th century because of the strong winds that often prevailed on the mountain spur. The Reichenberg local clergyman Magister Jacobi mentioned this name in a document in 1840.

A third tradition is recorded by the chronicler Moritz Lilie , among others . Lilie writes in his Lößnitzführer that the property was named after a previous owner, an electoral "Jagdpfeifer". This was later embellished. According to the traveling booklet “Radebeul and the Lössnitz” from the Bibliographisches Institut Leipzig, the inn “probably got its name after a Dresden town piper, who got it as a gift from an elector”. In the dining room there is accordingly an inscription: "In 1727, the Elector of Saxon Jagdpfeiffer lived here in 1727, when he blew Halali during hunts". Such an owner cannot be proven by sources.
