In addition, in 1784 he built a house for residential purposes, the so-called Weiherhaus, because it was surrounded by a pond. In 1816 the Reusch family acquired the entire property and manufactured thin sheet metal from pig iron here . An economic boom followed for the company. The Reusch family then added an additional floor to the house in 1880 and changed the room layout and reorganization with late classicist and neo-baroque elements.
