Behind the pond, on the opposite side of the street, one cannot help but notice the building, which is a monument of half-timbered architecture. It houses a weapons museum. From the history of the Zulsky Museum: "... the weapons museum is located in the so-called" Maltshaus "(malt house) - the only historical building in the central part of the city, built around 1660. During the Second World War, Zul, in unlike other industrial centers in Germany, it was practically unharmed, however, in the 1970s, almost all the buildings in the historic city center were demolished, giving way to new buildings. During the GDR, Suhl experienced an acute shortage of labor, which the socialist leadership tortured to replenish due to the construction of new housing. ”The hand did not rise to demolish only the“ Maltshaus ”, where in the end, after numerous relocations, the city arms museum founded in 1908, which originally occupied only two rooms, settled down in 1908.
