Here in this legendary city of Heidelberg, the "Unnererdschen," as dwarves are called in Low German, are said to have had their homes. The "Unnererdschen Barg" has been a magical place shrouded in mystery since time immemorial.

The Schnega mill originally stood west of Schnega at the Dullborn spring near Gledeberg. It was first mentioned in 1360. In 1668 it appears in documents in Schnega, but is still referred to as the Gledeberg mill. After the Lords of Bodendieck, the Barons Grote came into possession of the Schnega estate and mill. In addition to the grain grinding, the mill also had a hammer mill for beating oil and was also used as a baking mill for baking flax. The mill was finally driven by a turbine. The mill often changed owners: Pletke in 1679, Wilke in 1708, Ude in 1721, Köthke in 1754, Schulz in 1776, Pletke in 1801 and Möller in 1823. This list is certainly not complete. This mill may have been a leased mill, which is suggested by its proximity to the estate. In 1901, the mill was bought by Heinrich Niefind, whose heirs sold it in 2005 to Mr. Ingo Timm from Berlin and Mr. Jürgen Zaak from Sommerland near Elmshorn. The new owners have extensively renovated the mill, repaired the turbine and partially got the grinding mechanisms working again. Interested visitors can see for themselves on the annual Mill Day (Whit Monday) and experience a piece of old mill romance with coffee and butter cake. Source: Information board at the site

Historical washing area The washing area at the Schnega Mill was renovated in 1998. Until 1948, the washing area next to the stately half-timbered building of the water mill, which was then owned by the Niefind family, was still regularly used to wash laundry. The laundry was soaked long before it was brought to the mill stream on regular washing days. The clothes were boiled thoroughly in the kettle and particularly dirty areas were pre-cleaned with soap. The laundry items were moved in the water again at home and wrung out well before being loaded onto the wooden cart and taken to the stream to be washed. The laundry basket and tub were carried over a narrow footbridge onto the wooden platform. In a bent position, bed linen and clothing were vigorously moved in the flowing stream water and then wrung out. The whole family had to help. Source: Information board at the site

Dr. Carolin Schneider founded the institute in 1995 with the aim of creating an interface between research and the application of development work. Plant cultivation is possible all year round in the greenhouses and on the open spaces of the site. The employees use both plants grown in virto and plants grown from seed. One focus of the work is on mycorrhizal fungi. The institute is a project funded by the EU. You can find more information about the research here: https://pflanzenkultur.de/
