Guided Story
Can you hear the gentle rush of the water? That's the sound of the Welsche Mühle, turning with water power for centuries. Look to your left, where the clear waters of the Haarbach drive the mill wheels. This mill was once the heart of the community, where grain was ground and stories were shared. Behind you, a bit further away, stands the Christuskirche, whose bells marked the rhythm of daily life. Imagine standing here in the 18th century, surrounded by the scent of freshly milled flour. This mill wasn't just a place for production, but a gathering spot for locals. The sounds you hear are echoes of the past, passed down through generations.
