ツァイスカンのおすすめウォーキング＆ハイキングルート

ツァイスカマーミューレは元々穀物製粉所でした。農民たちは、いわゆる顧客製粉所で製粉するために、ここに穀物を持ってきました。この製粉所は、現在もベルクハイム行政区に様々な用途で保存されている合計6つの製粉所のうちの1つです。 この製粉所は、所有者が変わりながら、波乱に満ちた歴史を振り返ることができます。1908年、現在の所有者であるキュスパート家の曽祖父、ハインリヒ・フンベルトが、ホッケンハイムのシュランク家から24,000金マルクでこの製粉所を購入しました。 何度か破壊され、3度（1881年、1929年、1931年）焼失しました。 この製粉所は1972年まで穀物製粉所として稼働し、1980年まで飼料製粉所（家畜飼料）としてのみ稼働していました。1976年にはすでに、製粉所の建物にレストランが入居していました。祖母アルヴィネ・キュスパートの死後、末孫のエルンストが事業を引き継ぎました。1986年からは、広々とした配置の製粉所内のレストランに、30室の快適な客室を備えたホテルが併設されています：Hotel Restaurant Zeiskamer Mühle 製粉所の近くには2つのコウノトリの巣があります。 2010年に新設された魚道を備えたクアイヒ川の水路は、裏側から今も見ることができます。

Information panels explain the technique of meadow irrigation, which was recognized by UNESCO as an intangible cultural heritage in 2023. I will come back again in the spring and participate in one of the guided tours.

Today it seemed deserted, but it must be very busy here in the summer.

St. Bartholomew's Church was initially a combined denominational church after the previous church fell into disrepair. Starting in 1834, a Protestant church was built in Zeiskam, and each denomination had its own prayer rooms.

The forest ranger Philipp Hoffmann died at this spot on April 8, 1927, under unknown circumstances.

The Ottersheim Dividing Weir was established in 1772 as a "lordly weir." Since the 18th century, it has divided the waters of the artificial Spiegelbach from the Queich in a ratio of 2/5 to 3/5. While the Spiegelbach flows past the Knittelsheim Mill to Bellheim, the waters of the Queich trickle northward to Zeiskam. The regulations for dividing the water were already laid down in writing in the "Electoral Palatinate Queichbach Ordinance" of 1784. The numbers on the transverse blocks indicate the numbers of the keys that allowed the water warden to unlock the weirs on water days. These keys had to be deposited with the Germersheim District Office.

The “Loschter Handkeesfescht” is usually around May 1st and lasts for three days. THE HISTORY OF THE HANDKEESFESCH At the beginning of the 20th century, “butter-pushing” and “handkeesdrikking” were centuries-old traditions in “Loschter” households. After a large parade in Karlsruhe in 1924, at which a delegation of “Loschter Handkeesdrikker” were greeted with great enthusiasm, the two committed Lustadt residents Georg Lehr and Georg Ott decided to launch the 1st “Loschter Handkeesfescht” in 1925. The idyllic spot in the Lustadt Mayflower Forest was chosen as the location, and over the decades the name “Loschter Handkeesplatz” became a synonym for the Palatinate’s joie de vivre and coziness. The declared aim of the club’s founders was to organize a family-friendly folk festival at affordable prices. In 1925, only a few hundred visitors found their way to the festival grounds, but over the decades the initially modest festival has become one of the largest folk festivals in the southern Palatinate. Tens of thousands of festival-goers now visit us every year. In addition to around 5,000 seats (around 1,000 of which are covered), the festival grounds in the heart of the Mayflower Forest offer plenty of space for our guests. On nice days, it is especially young families who, well equipped with blankets, picnic in a sunny spot in the forest at moderate prices. (Excerpt from loschter-handkeesfescht.de)
