Description

In 1714, the miller Johann Heinrich Hardt built a mill on this site for the first time. The farmer Philipp Hertel bought it in 1784. Shortly after he had bought it, he built a new mill and residential building as well as the farm buildings he needed for his agriculture. In the end, the mill was only used for milling. For a long time, the mill stood empty, fell into disrepair, and was then demolished in 1956. In 1962, the new residential building was completed as a resettlement farm with farm buildings. Today the mill is an organic farm with suckler cow husbandry and a fruit distillery.

Description

In this place, the threshing cooperative provided the threshing machine in the late summers from the 1920s on. Small farmers could process their grain harvest with it, then the machine was brought to the individual larger farms. The threshing machine was used for the last time in 1966, after which combine harvesters were used.

Description

Here, until 1957, there were two wells with drinking water, which were also used for watering cattle. The running well was fed by "Deicheln", tubes made of wood. The old street name "Troog" of the Bachstraße comes from the two water troughs. The stone troughs (donated by the family „Wenzperersch“) come from a stable. The original troughs were much larger.

Description

Mercury was mined in the well chamber from 1774. However, the amount of metal found was not worthwhile and the mine was closed in 1785. From 1792 the water was led through pipes made of wood, so-called "Deicheln", into well troughs on the other side of the street as well as two other places in the village. In 1965, a fountain was built instead of the fountain troughs on the opposite side.
