After the house was built in 1912 as the summer residence of the Lörrach-born singer Helene Siegfried, it has been a museum of the Waldshut district since she died in 1966.
Since its construction in 1912, the equipment has been collected from farms in the region and is now a valuable collection of Black Forest folk art, especially from the 18th and 19th centuries.
With the TV series "Schwarzwaldklinik", when the house was used as the residence of the "Brinkmann family", today's museum became even more famous.
