The former Wilder Mann inn building has an eventful history. A popular tourist destination until the end of the 19th century, it was used as a reserve hospital during the Second World War and as a party school for the SED after 1945. From 1969, GDR television and later MDR used the premises as a television studio. In 2007, it was converted into a residential and office building.
