Forsthaus Derenborn, Forester's lodge in Höxter, Germany
The Forsthaus Derenborn consisted of a residential building, stables, and a garden spanning across 170 hectares of forest management area.
Built in 1795, the forest house received its first official documentation as Forsthaus Spitze or Derenborn in 1838, following reconstruction after a fire.
The forester's lodge maintained the designation Royal Forestry until 1918, representing traditional German forest management practices and administrative structures.
The former location of Forsthaus Derenborn can be reached via hiking trails, with a new shelter named 'Zum Spitzenförster' constructed 100 meters from the original site.
In 1963, the German military demolished the structure and submerged its remains in a pond, marking the end of centuries of forestry tradition.
