The Greiz rock cellar complex, built by private individuals or small businesses between the 17th and 18th centuries, is located in the lower part of the Greiz Castle Hill. Letters of request were submitted to the prince for the construction of the cellars, who, through lease agreements, permitted the undermining of the Castle Hill. The cellars were carved into the rock individually, each in different sizes and lengths. The individual chisel marks are still clearly visible in them, testifying to the painstaking work of the builders. A total of 19 cellars were created in the entrance area of the Castle Hill. These were used for storing food, beer, and chemicals. The usable area of the cellars is approximately 900 m² with a usable volume of approximately 2000 m³.

A shoe factory stood on this site in the 20th century. It was founded by Adolph Zimmer. In 1923, he expanded the factory grounds with a building along Aumaer Straße. Chemicals were stored in this cellar. After shoe production ceased in 1990, the factory building stood empty. It was demolished in 2009 as part of the city center redevelopment. During the demolition, this grotto was discovered beneath Aumaer Straße.
