Woad was cultivated as a dye plant to produce indigo blue. In Germany, woad has been cultivated primarily in Thuringia since the 9th century. The city of Erfurt gained power and wealth as a center of the woad trade. A replica of a millstone illustrates how the dye was extracted. de.wikipedia.org/wiki/F%C3%A4rberwaid#Waidanbau_in_Th%C3%BCringen
