The villa, originally built as a restaurant for the Karl Schreider Export Brewery in Falkenstein (founded in 1709 and closed in 1968), which was once located here but has since been demolished, is now a privately owned residential building. It stands directly on the inner-German border.

The Thuringian industrial pioneer Franz Itting, who had already built a power plant in Probstzella in 1909, commissioned the "Haus des Volkes" (People's House) in 1925. The socially minded entrepreneur wanted to create a cultural center for the region and enable "ordinary people" to enjoy high-quality cultural offerings. The building was constructed by the architects Alfred Arndt and Ernst Gebhardt as a hotel and multi-purpose hall by 1927. The interior was designed entirely by artists from the Bauhaus Dessau. After the Second World War, the building was used by the GDR as a customs office, and the event hall hosted various performances and celebrations. In 1970/1971, the building was expanded to include a restaurant, which reopened after renovation in 2005. In addition to the hotel, the building houses a theater and concert hall, as well as the central exhibition on the origins of the German Green Belt. A Franz Itting Museum has also been located here since 2014.

This hilltop castle, originally part of the Orlagau region, was built over a thousand years ago in the midst of a clearing on the upper reaches of the Saale River and its tributary, the Loquitz. It was first mentioned in a document from 1222. Via the Counts of Orlamünde (1250) and the Knights of Ghüna (1506), the castle finally passed to the Margraves of Brandenburg-Kulmbach and Bayreuth in 1622, falling to Prussia in 1791 and Bavaria in 1803. In 1896, the castle romanticist Dr. Erhard Messmer from Halle an der Saale acquired the completely neglected castle complex, had it renovated, and refurbished. Katharina von Orlamünde was born at Lauenstein Castle in the 14th century. She is said to haunt the castle to this day as the restless ghost known as the "White Lady."

After the castle romanticist Dr. Ehrhard Messmer from Halle an der Saale purchased the dilapidated Lauenstein Castle in 1896, he had the building renovated in the historicist style. This included the restoration of the bridge over the moat leading up to the historic castle gate.
