According to the investigations into the village inventory in 2021, core parts of the house date from the 15th/16th century.
Alms stones: The farmhouse has strangely large stone balls on the southern corner. They are called "Mure Beeri" in farmhouse research. Sometimes their function is understood as a defense against evil spirits. In the region they can be found on old stone buildings, which were probably exempt from tithing, so that people could beg for alms here.
In the 18th century, the deputy bailiff Johannes Lützler lived here. He was responsible for the lower jurisdiction (e.g. theft). The house apparently had a dungeon. In 1996, during renovations, an oak window frame with a strong iron grating was found in the basement.
