The ruins Schlößlein are remnants of the Wall on the Tannenberg, one kilometer north of Schwarzenhammer; 567 m above sea level. NN. At the instigation of the hunting and fun-loving Margrave Friedrich 1762 here was a "Salon" arise as a supplement to Jagdschloss Kaiserhammer. The massive masonry, over 3 m high, 11 m long, 8 m wide, can still be seen. The building, popularly known as the "Women's House", was never completed.

The now almost dilapidated women's salon on the Tannenberg was once intended to serve "human pleasure in the forest". The fun-loving Margrave Friedrich of Bayreuth had it built in 1762, but died shortly afterwards. In 1769, the pavilion, located at a height of 567 meters, was still not quite finished. Like the Kaiserhammer hunting lodge to which it belonged, it was left to decay. There was never a robber baron's residence here, as the legend goes.
