The restaurant was never a glassworks itself; it belonged to a glassworks, hence the name Jämlitz-HÜTTE (Glassworks). When Prince Pückler decided to build a glassworks here, a corresponding inn was later added where the workers could stop for refreshments. Today, the small, tranquil village has fewer than 50 inhabitants and belongs to the municipality of Jämlitz Klein Düben. At its peak, when the glass industry still existed here, there were over 200. Hardly anything remains of the old glassworks buildings. Later, during the GDR era, the site was home to PGH Metall, and later to a container construction company that emerged from it. All these changes of ownership likely significantly changed the development of the former glassworks, so that today the listed inn is considered one of the last recognizably historic buildings.

A little below the Föhrenfließ on the state and district border between the Saxon town of Bad Muskau, Köbeln and the Zschorno in Brandenburg is what is still known today as the Sell Mill Building complex. One part of the building is a mill, the other is a residential building, framed by various side streets.

In 1815, landlord Pückler had this glassworks built and leased it out. The history of the glassworks ended after 125 years. It was still used as a restaurant until the 1950s.

Zschorno was first mentioned in 1524 and later belonged to the Forst-Pförten rule, which was reunited in 1746 by Saxon Prime Minister Imperial Count Heinrich von Brühl. The manor house was built around 1800 and is a listed building. In 1844, Friedrich Hermann Rötzschke, the future park designer of Kromlau, lived at Gut Zschorno for a few years. Zschorno was incorporated into Jämlitz in 1950. The watermill on the road to Zschorno, formerly located on the old customs road via Alte Schänke to Muskau, also called the Weißmühle, has been operated with water from the Föhrenfließ since the beginning of 1622. After the fall of the Wall, it was closed down and converted into a residential building by the owner. The Hermannmühle, built in 1578, is located on the north side of the Föhrenfließ in Tschnitzer territory. Four apartments were built here in 1959, and the residents created a green area with azaleas and rhododendron bushes near the mill pond. Ostriches and highland cattle are bred here.

The Föhrenfließ once supplied the Hirtenmühle in Tschernitz, the Hermannsmühle and the Weißmühle in Jämlitz as well as the Sellmühle and the paper mill in Köbeln with hydropower. Most of the mills on the Föhrenfließ are no longer in their original condition and have been converted into apartments.

It is unclear why this rest area is called "former bathing area". But it is clear that you can sit well and dry here. You always have the Rinderschnitza in view. You can't just swim here.
