"To the glory of God, always to the defense of our neighbors" is the motto of the Sahms Volunteer Fire Department. The Sahms Volunteer Fire Department was founded in 1908 and found its place in the first fire station with all of its equipment. The second building was then used for expansion and had a cistern with a capacity of 60,000 l in the basement. The fire station has been in use since 1992 and offers space for emergency equipment and meetings. https://feuerwehr-sahms.de/Geschichte.html

The village pond in Sahms is called Ruski. Unfortunately, the origin and meaning of the name are unknown. If anyone knows anything about it, he/she/it is welcome to comment here.

In the center of the town, surrounded by the old and new schools, the fire station, the sports field and the shooting club, on a small hill is the "Müssener Erratic". Hardly any visitor to Müssen fails to visit this impressive relic from the early days of earth's history and linger reverently in its shade. This place was already considered a place of worship around 4500 years ago, at the time of the first settlement by the Musseken, a Germanic tribe who settled in the area north of the Elbe between 5300 and 4000 BC. The Musseken believed that the stone was torn from the depths of the earth by the Nordic god of thunder Thor in a dispute with a giant in order to hurl it at his head, but missed him and remained lying in this place. So the meetings of the village elders were held at this stone and justice was dispensed. Young couples were married under the stone, cult festivals were celebrated and evil spirits were banished. Recent excavations have revealed that, contrary to what was previously assumed, the Musseken already had a strong sense of community and were able to milk a cow. Even in our century, the stone has lost none of its significance for the people living near it and many customs from the distant past have left their mark to this day. For example, every year at the summer solstice, the mayor gives his annual address to the citizens of Müssen from the stone. Things get more unbridled in late summer during the fertility ceremonies, when the stone is the center of extravagant festivities. Such pagan activities do not appeal to every citizen of Müssen, and so there are people who vehemently claim that the stone was only brought here a few years ago in a heavy-duty transporter and has not been the center of all previous settlements for thousands of years. But that probably belongs more to the realm of fairy tales and legends. https://gemeinde-muessen.online/unser-dorf/findling
