In 1924 the city council decided to build a municipal Pfründnerheim.

The groundbreaking ceremony took place on September 24, 1924 .
On January 26, 1926, the municipal Pfründnerheim was opened. The mine pensioners made a one-off payment ( benefice ) in order to spend their retirement years there. The city of Penzberg succeeded in creating a home that for a long time was considered unique and progressive. The nuns from the monastery of St. Joseph of Neumarkt in the Upper Palatinate were responsible for the care of the residents. From 1929 to 1954 there was a housekeeping school in the basement. On April 28, 1944, the Pfründnerheim was renamed the Penzberg Municipal Retirement Home.
