Haus Theresienstein with public park

Theresienstein was donated in 2011 on the occasion of the 175th anniversary of the naming here by the Friends' Association in the Theresienstein public park.

In Hof's city park Theresienstein there is a small, rather inconspicuous half-timbered house with closed green shutters, an old measuring station for earthquakes. The Hof earthquake seismograph was already a specialty when it was purchased in 1909, because in Bavaria there was only the king's earthquake control room in Munich at that time. The seismographs were dismantled in 1972 and brought to the depot of the Deutsches Museum in Munich. Now it is considered to revive the earthquake house. br.de/nachrichten/bayern/seismograph-soll-zurueck-ins-hofer-erdbebenhaeuschen,S8qqac9

Numerous new facilities and redesigns of the Theresienstein public park were built under city planning officer Thomas. Another lookout pavilion in the historical style with rich ornamental carvings was built in 1885 on a lookout hill designed with romantic rock areas and exotic plants. In honor of its builder, the building was named "Thomas - Höhe".
