Building complex from the 18th century - near the Otto-Maigler-See are the remains of the Marienbrunn Monastery, a former important Cistercian monastery founded in 1233. After the monastery was dissolved in the course of secularization in 1802, the monastery church and the actual monastery buildings were demolished. The outlines of the former monastery buildings are now marked by a hornbeam hedge.
Only a few former farm buildings have been preserved, including the so-called "Försterhaus", which houses the clubhouses of the Hürth swimming club and the Hürth disabled sports club.
Opposite the forester's house is a courtyard that emerged from the former monastery mill, the oldest parts of which probably date from the 18th century. A wayside shrine erected south of the farm barn by the Füngeling family, who leased it for many years, is intended to commemorate the former monastery
Today the residence and clubhouses of the SC Hürth and the disabled sports club e.V.
