Historical washing area

The washing area at the Schnega Mill was renovated in 1998. Until 1948, the washing area next to the stately half-timbered building of the water mill, which was then owned by the Niefind family, was still regularly used to wash laundry. The laundry was soaked long before it was brought to the mill stream on regular washing days. The clothes were boiled thoroughly in the kettle and particularly dirty areas were pre-cleaned with soap. The laundry items were moved in the water again at home and wrung out well before being loaded onto the wooden cart and taken to the stream to be washed. The laundry basket and tub were carried over a narrow footbridge onto the wooden platform. In a bent position, bed linen and clothing were vigorously moved in the flowing stream water and then wrung out. The whole family had to help.
