The quaint building is the old service cabin of August Ganghofer, the father of the writer Ludwig Ganghofer. It represents the family's forestry background and the forest that strongly influenced Ludwig's childhood. August Ganghofer was not only the district forester in Welden, but later pursued a career as a forestry expert.

The hut was built by August-Ganghofer as a forest and shelter hut. It was used for the Arbit and also for unifying. Ludwig Ganghofer's father August moved to Welden and was the royal district forester there for 13 years. He became Ministerialrat of the Royal Bavarian Forest Administration and August Ganghofer was ennobled as a well-deserved reformer of Bavarian forestry.
