history
The farm was operated as a farmer's place as early as the 17th and 18th centuries. In 1875 existing buildings were partially replaced and expanded. The farm was then run in the 19th and 20th centuries as a farmer's place with an inn and forge . Through agriculture and animal husbandry , he provided the people in the area with food that was also offered in the inn. In the forge, the carriage and field horses were shod and agricultural machinery built, repaired and maintained. It was also a wheelwright , whose wagon wheels were known throughout the country. With two master blacksmiths, two journeymen and several apprentices, the forge was a relatively large company. It was built in its current form in 1875 and is the successor to a much older forge that was previously on the site. It was in business until the 1950s, but lost its importance with the advent of industrial production and technical progress. Since the 1960s the farm has been run as a farm and since 1990 has only been used as a residential building.

Todays use
The Voss family bought the old family farm in April 2008 and developed a new usage concept for the building and the entire site.
