The court messenger Lukas Kirstgen built the Lukas mill in 1569 in order to assert himself against the feudal owner and tenant of the Zerkaller mill. The last people living there, the Wilhelm Boltersdorf family, were expelled to Brandenberg by the Americans. In 1951 the mill was leveled. Source: Wikipedia
