Caspar Clemens Zumbusch was born in the half-timbered house built in 1700 in 1830. He worked as a sculptor in Munich and Vienna, where he was also elevated to the nobility.

From 1720, the house on today's Bundesstraße 64 served as a permanent post office with a transformer station for stagecoaches.

In 1848, Wilhelm Nöllmann acquired the house. Wilhelm Branz bought it in 1907 and the entrepreneur Paul Craemer in 1912. The use of the house as an administrative building for Craemer's press, stamping and hammer works and the later Paul Craemer company ended in 1980. Craemer Holding handed the house over to the municipality for public use in 2010. Today, it houses a family center and the Caspar Ritter von Zumbusch Museum.
