history
After the Bretschneider family had opened a wood pulp and paper factory in the valley on the Zwickauer Mulde in the village of Wolfsgrün in the middle of the 19th century , they had their mansion built a little above the factory in 1904. After the Bretschneider family moved out, the building was used as a mothers' rest home for the National Socialist People's Welfare Association (NSV) until 1945 , which was also used as the German central archive for genealogy. After 1945 it was first the SED district school " Rosa Luxemburg " and then a holiday home, which was reserved for higher party officials and their families.
After the building was neglected after the fall of the Wall, it was bought and renovated by an investor in the mid-1990s. The house has been used as a hotel since 1994.
