The Fichtestube Inn, located in the former Erbgericht (court court) on Rammenau's village square, has become a gem both inside and out. Since reopening in 2000, it has taken on the feel of an Italian restaurant. There's an idyllic beer garden behind the building, the municipal office is integrated into the building, and, as was customary in the past, there's also a banquet room for up to 40 people and a hall for up to 120 people.

In 1763, the Rammenau farmers built their own cooperative blacksmith shop on the meadow. For approximately 150 years, blacksmithing was practiced there, then in a new extension until the mid-1960s. In 2010, the building, Rammenau's only half-timbered house, was reopened after extensive renovations. It houses the blacksmith shop, the tourist information office, a faithfully restored log cabin, and the community library. The barn attached to the blacksmith shop and the demonstration blacksmith shop are open from Easter to October, and many beautiful exhibits are on display.

Blacksmithing is one of the oldest crafts in Rammenau. Along with many other existing blacksmith shops, such as the Hofeschmiede and the Buschschmiede, farmers in Rammenau built their own cooperative blacksmith shop on the Aue in 1763. Blacksmithing was practiced there for 150 years, then in a new extension until the mid-1960s. In 2010, the building, Rammenau's only half-timbered house, was opened to the public after extensive renovations. Since then, it has housed, among other things, a blacksmith's shop, the tourist information office, a faithfully reproduced block room, and the community library. Over the years, a lovingly designed herb garden has been created in the courtyard of the blacksmith's shop, and visitors can learn about its plants in a herbal book. The barn attached to the blacksmith's shop and the demonstration blacksmith shop are open from Easter to October. Extensive information about Rammenau and the surrounding area can be found in the barn. Furthermore, as in the Old Prison, tourists can also visit annual temporary exhibitions here. On special occasions, visitors can watch a blacksmith at work in the demonstration forge. Source: https://www.westlausitz.de/erleben/alte-schmiede-rammenau.html
