The Kroppen landscape park is beautiful with an area of at least 17 hectares. The Kroppener Schloss once stood here, built in 1679 and blown up in 1948, a victim of the communist ideology of the time. It reminded me of a text that we had to read in school, in which a manor wall was torn down, nothing was to remain, Junkernland in the hands of the peasants. This pained me a lot, because I loved the sandstone wall in my grandmother's garden, which used to be the plum orchard of the manor house in our village. Devoid of any ideology, I didn't understand why everything had to be destroyed and even the walls, ours was teeming with lizards. Before the demolition, a brewery was interested in Kroppen, and it could have been a company holiday home.
