    Hiking

    The icehouse was built in 1905 and primarily served to store ice so that cold storage facilities and iceboxes could be supplied year-round.

    In winter, blocks of ice were cut from the surrounding ponds and placed in the icehouse. This created a huge block of ice, which had the natural cooling effect of a small iceberg.

    Hiking

    The icehouse was used as such until the war years.

    On December 1, 1986, the Jaidhof Local History Museum Association "Altes Eishaus" was founded, and the building was converted into a museum.
