Probably built around 1600, it originally belonged to the Pforzheim nuns, then to the Herrenalb Monastery, and later to the municipal tithe barn until the tithes were abolished in 1850. In its function as a tithe barn, i.e., a warehouse for the in-kind tributes paid by the population to the landowners, it documents earlier forms of ownership and economic activity.
