history
Göftel's house (1529 Gufftel's house ), the old house so to speak , stood near the New House as early as 1528 . In 1820 August Schumann's Lexicon of Saxony contained an entry on the New House. In 1842 (possibly not until 1844) the New House burned down, but was soon rebuilt. In 1852 the house was granted a liquor license, but with the condition that a bell tower be erected on the roof to show hikers the direction in fog and poor visibility. In 1860 the building burned down again and was rebuilt.
With the increase in tourism at the end of the 19th century, the New House became a destination for excursions and summer retreat, as well as a winter sports area and horn sledge station. The poet and singer of the Ore Mountains Anton Günther came very often from his near place of birth and residence Gottesgab across the Saxon-Bohemian border and sang his songs to the lute and guitar in the New House.
