history

The place Schießhaus owes its name to a shooting range with a wooden hut, which was built in 1660 on the orders of the ducal for the sons of the nobility of the Guelph sidelines living in Castle Bevern . Because of poaching , the duke ordered the construction of a massive game watchman's house in 1721, which the forest clerk Siegmund Steimel moved into in 1722. In 1812 it was replaced by a larger one, which was surrounded by a high protective wall with loopholes . In 1951 the forest office was dissolved and the area was incorporated into the neighboring forest office in Holzminden.

A glassworks in the forest gave the place a corresponding economic importance for some time in the 18th century. In 1775 two more houses were added for the workers in the glassworks in Schorborn and Mühlenberg . Around 1860 an inn ("Zumgrün Jäger") was added, which was expanded by a hall in 1880 and closed in 1960.
