The year 1649 on the weather vane of the tower-like porch on the street side is seen as the year of construction of a single-storey house with a wine cellar standing on the spot; the owner of the initials EBis unknown. At the beginning of the 18th century the building was increased, along with an extension and extension, along with an external staircase to access the upper floor. These extensions are already marked on the map by Hans August Nienborg from 1715. In 1735 a Bergrat Lehmann acquired the property. In 1744 it was owned by a Piscenius family, to which the future mother of August and Moritz Retzsch also belonged. She married the electoral Saxon secret war councilor Gottlieb August Retzsch († 1789); the family spent their summers on their estate in the Loessnitz. In 1813 it was extended to two floors plus a porch.

From 1819 the painter and etcher Moritz Retzsch lived in the winery property bought out of his mother's inheritance. This is located directly on the slope behind the house and almost reaches up to the Spitzhaus . As early as 1813 he had the house extended by another floor and the front building facing the street. In 1828 the professor at the Dresden Art College gave up his residence in Dresden and moved to his estate all year round. In 1837 it was sheathed with a partially closed arcade on the north and west side of the upper storey, the overhang of which was supported over the ground floor by an irregular row of stone columns. With this conversion, the previous saddle roof was extended to a hipped roof. At that time there was still a wine press in the building.

According to a contract signed by Retzsch in 1841 , the apartment of his winemaker Johann Gottlob Wächter, consisting of a room and two chambers, was on the ground floor next to the press room , while Retzsch himself lived on the upper floor. After Retzsch's death in 1857, the street running towards the house from the south received his name. In 1866 the property became the property of his wife Christel geb. Miersch over; she was “the neighbor and playmate in his youth.” In the following years, other names appear on the house map: 1870 J. C. Hildebrand, then a Künzel family.

In 1893 the Weinhold family took over the estate; further structural changes were made. The open gallery facing north was built with slate cladding, and the windows were probably enlarged, whereby they were not framed by the local sandstone walls, but by bricks in imperial format . In 1953, the gardener Otto Weinhold had a small, one-story outbuilding with a gable roof built in the courtyard area . In 1966 Marie Weinhold died, with which the inheritance passed to the children living in the house. The heirs waived their share in 1979 "because the low rental income could no longer bear the structural repair work", with the result that the building was transferred to municipal administration.

After the fall of the Wall, one of the co-heirs with the family name Seifert decided to apply for a transfer back, which was successful in 1997. In 1999 the daughter and her husband took over the property. The residential building was extensively renovated between 2002 and 2005, the half-timbered construction of the street-side extension was exposed and the upper floor was protected by the wooden paneling painted in dark red. In 2009, the builders received the builder award from the city of Radebeul for this successful renovation.
