Seidl's rebuilt Gloriettl opened in July 2019. In a large joint project between the Verein Menschen Helfen, the Förderkreis Murnauer Parklandschaft and the Freie Theater, the bathhouse, which was built in 1902, was reconstructed within two weeks using old black and white photos. The building, which was built in solid wooden construction, had served as a theater backdrop for Shakespeare's “Midsummer Night's Dream” at the Kulturknall charity festival and generated enthusiasm. The original structure was torn down after the Second World War.
