Count Heinrich XXV. Reuss-Gera J. L. had the castle in Tinz built in 1745, in the Tinz district, according to plans by Gerardo Hofmann. His son Count Heinrich XXX completed the originally spacious park. Reuss-Gera J. L. 1748. The castle itself was surrounded by geometrically designed moats and served for many years as a summer residence and widow's seat of the Reussian ruling family. That is why it is drawn as a moated castle among the citizens of Gera. After extensive redesign of the attic by architect Eckler, the home folk high school was housed here from 1920-1933. During the Second World War it served as a military hospital. In 1975/76, the filling of the moats led to the structural and landscape disadvantage of the palace complex. An allotment garden was created in the park.
