Guided Story

Can you hear the gentle sound of water nearby? That's the Strunde stream flowing next to you. Imagine how it once powered the large mill wheels of the Hardtmühle. Look around, where trees stand today, there were once tall buildings where grain was ground. Behind you is the charming district of Dellbrück, which grew over the years around the mill. Across the stream, picture farmers arriving with their carts full of grain to be milled. It's a place rich with history and quiet dignity, offering you a glimpse into the past.
