The Forsthaus Uhlenstein was built in 1906. The name goes back to the 469.1  m high Uhlenstein elevation, about one kilometer north-northeast . The first written mention dates from 1911 - a letter in which the district forester Westphal describes his wife's preparation of a mouflon roast . The animals were released into the wild in the nearby area of ​​Drahtzug from 1906. Little is known about the further history of the forester's house. From 1921 to 1922 the forester's house was inhabited by forester Fritz Jacobi and his wife Hedwig and from 1922 to 1945 by forester Rosemund, who had many of the hiking and forest trails that still exist today built. After the Second World War , the house was inhabited by several families. Later the area was u. a. led by the forester Schicker, Kolotschek and Dietrich, who lived here. The head of the wildlife research area, Holger Piegert, also lived in the forester's house. Since 2001, the forester of the surrounding area has been living in the forester's house in Uhlenstein. There is no road to the forester's house, only forest paths.

The remains of the castle ruins at the Mönchehof are being excavated near the forester's house .
