Built in 1908, the Wilischbaude originally served as a popular destination for hikers, cyclists, locals and skiers and was easily accessible via a road from Hermsdorf. However, after German reunification in 1990, the lodge increasingly fell into disrepair.

With the opening of the Lockwitztalbahn railway line between Niedersedlitz and Kreischa, the spa town experienced an unprecedented influx of visitors.
