The house was built in 1858 at the level of the promontory and initially consisted of a small arable landscape with self-made gazebos. There, baked goods, coffee and cold drinks were sold, especially to day trippers in the area. Due to the era of the Rhine romanticism and the view of the nearby Siebengebirge, the house had numerous visitors in the middle of the 19th century. From then on the property was called "Das Buchholz".
