Tips
Flax was grown here until around 1900, from which linen fabrics were made.
After harvesting, the flax was dried over the fire of a crushing hole before the stalks were broken. This can be read on the sign next door.translated by

The crushing hole belonged to Hofgut Adam and was restored in 1993-94 by the Forschungsgemeinschaft Schnellerts e.V
