The pillory of Mölln, also known as the pillory, is a fascinating relic from a time when public punishment was part of the city's legal system. Today, it stands in the heart of the old town and serves as a striking reminder of how social norms and penal practices have changed over the centuries. 🪵 Symbol of medieval jurisdiction In the Middle Ages, people who had committed minor offenses – such as theft or slander – were tied to the pillory and displayed to the public. The goal was not only punishment, but also public humiliation. The pillory was thus an instrument of social control and a visible symbol of law and order. 📍 Today a memorial with a warning character The Mölln pillory is no longer a place of condemnation, but a monument that invites reflection. It symbolizes the development of legal systems and the changes in the way guilt and atonement were dealt with. Located in the heart of the charming old town, it's a popular stop on city tours – often in connection with the story of Till Eulenspiegel, who found his final resting place in Mölln and is known for his jokes. 🧭 A place for history and stories Those who visit the pillory not only gain insight into the legal practices of bygone times, but also a sense of Mölln's cultural depth. It's a silent storyteller – not loud, but haunting. https://www.moelln-tourismus.de/

The mill ditch was historically created to supply water to the Mölln town mill. It is a diversion of the Pinnau River, which originally flowed directly into the Hegesee. The town mill was first documented in the 13th century and was of great economic importance to the town, particularly for the brewery. The mill ditch is part of the Mölln Lake District and connects the Schmalsee with the Schulsee. The mill ditch and the associated town mill are now protected as cultural monuments. The mill itself was decommissioned in 1958 and now serves as a residential and commercial building. It borders the northern part of the listed Mölln spa gardens. Along the mill ditch, there is a dog bathing area, which is listed as a tourist attraction on the Mölln Tourist Office website. The area surrounding the Mühlengraben is ideal for strolls and is often included in city tours that also include other sights such as the Eulenspiegel Fountain, St. Nicolai Church, and the spa gardens. In summary, the Mühlengraben is not only a scenic feature in Mölln, but is also closely linked to the town's economic and cultural history.

Also an eye-catcher

Even though the ground is loose, you can still ride well. There are always little rest stops along the canal – a good thing, especially at 38°C.

Riding ELK from here is simply beautiful. Always along the canal. It's fun.

Nice place for a break

This is a wonderful place to stop for a rest on a bike ride along the Elbe-Lübeck Canal. For me, the hearing test is a definite goal; we meet up with several friends and continue from there. With a bit of luck, you might even see a ship every now and then. Highly recommended.
