In 1372 the place is mentioned as a hereditary forestry of the Nuremberg citizen Hermann Remar. The Puckenhof Palace emerged from it. The estate was owned by the Haller von Hallerstein family from 1462 to 1487 and from 1501 to 1848 . During the Second Margrave War , the buildings were burned down by margravial troops on May 29, 1552. In the years 1564–1567, the people of Hall rebuilt Puckenhof Palace. Since 1850, the former Hallerschloss has been used as a youth home, educational institution and curative educational day care center by Protestant sponsoring associations.
