The building, an old tanner's farm with a half-timbered upper floor, was built in 1755 and survived all major fires thanks to its location in front of the city walls.
In 1863 the dealer and master plumber Anton Zöphel (1830 to 1880) bought the house and property. The family ran a grocery store, later a gas station with repair and battery service until the late 1950s.
From 1966 to 1991 the house belonged to the building management and was used for shop window advertising and for residential purposes. The framework was uncovered in 1985. A comprehensive renovation took place in 1995/96. In September 1996 the city library moved in, three months later today's cultural and tourist information.

The Zoephelsche Haus is used for library events and small exhibitions. Since November 2009, a plaque in the courtyard has commemorated the Oelsnitz teacher, hiker and publicist Paul Apitzsch (1873 to 1949).
