Gasthof Brauner Hirsch is a historic building in a small, sleepy town in Saxony-Anhalt. Located in the old town, it is registered as an inn in the local monument register. The large building, which dominates the streetscape, is one of the oldest inns in the town. It was originally called 'Gasthaus Deutsches Haus'. A legend dating back to 1736 tells the story of a stag that escaped during a hunt, was chased by 70 hounds, and was found three hours later just outside the inn. The inn was subsequently renamed 'Brauner Hirsch'.

The current building was constructed around 1910/1920. The plastered facade of the two-story house is structured in the neoclassical style, with its colossal Ionic pilasters. From 1920 to 1990, the hall of the inn housed a cinema called the 'Kammer-Lichtspiele'. It was rebuilt and expanded several times over the years. The last renovation took place in 1966. The walls, screen, seats, and technical equipment were replaced and updated. The renovation cost 95,000 marks and from then on offered space for 350 cinemagoers.
