history
The building with today's address Nikolaistraße 51 and the grounds of the Jägerhof belonged to the St. Claren Monastery, built in 1301 . The first building at this point was made largely of wood ; the roof was of straw or reeds covered. A stone building followed, which was first mentioned in a document in 1450. The building was used by the monastery as a cattle yard and as a residential building for the servants . There were several small chambers on the upper floors and a larger room as a kitchen and servants' room on the ground floor.
In the course of the Reformation, the Catholic monastery was closed and came into the possession of the elector . From 1606 to 1705 there were seven changes of ownership. The new owner in 1705, Duke Johann Georg zu Sachsen-Weißenfels , had the building converted into a hunting and forestry yard and the seat of the chief hunter. The inauguration after the renovation took place on February 26, 1705. During the 31st birthday party of Duke Christian on February 23, 1713, Johann Sebastian Bach played the hunting cantata What I like is just the lively hunt . When French troops marched through Weissenfels during the Wars of Liberation in 1813, Marshal Michel Ney stayed in the building from April 29th to 30th.

The building also served the director of the teachers' college Wilhelm Harnisch as a residence from 1837 to 1842.
This was followed by the establishment of a preparatory institute that prepares students for attending the teachers' seminar.
