    From 1840 to 1863, a forest farm was built here by the forestry administration, but ultimately it did not find favorable conditions for agriculture and livestock farming and thus had to be abandoned.

    The ruins of this former forest farm are also known as the "Alt-Hofstätten" ruins (according to Tourist Information Hauenstein, Sonja Spiess, dated June 22, 2022).
