This old historical restaurant with the well-preserved half-timbering is unfortunately no longer used as a gastronomic facility. There are apartments and office buildings in it.

The "Rothe Ochse" was created in 1738 and was an old pub with a break. Later it was converted into a quarters for travelers, because with the construction of the Saxon post station and after the relocation of almost all traffic between Leipzig and Dresden via Wermsdorf, a restaurant and accommodation facility in the immediate vicinity of the post station became necessary.

The building was built in 1738 as a tavern with Ausspanne. The post road from Dresden to Leipzig led through Wermsdorf, so that after the construction of the post office it became necessary to build a hostel. According to a tradition, Emperor Napoleon is said to have stopped here in 1813 when he moved to Leipzig. A blackboard on the pillar in the guest room testified to this.
