Zeiskamer Mühle는 원래 곡물 제분소였습니다. 농부들은 소위 고객 제분소에서 곡물을 제분하기 위해 이곳으로 가져왔습니다. 이곳은 Bellheim 지방 자치 단체에서 다양한 용도로 오늘날까지 보존된 총 6개의 제분소 중 하나입니다. 이 제분소는 변화하는 소유주들과 함께 다사다난한 역사를 가지고 있습니다. 1908년, 현재 소유주인 Küspert 가족의 증조부인 Heinrich Humbert는 Hockenheim의 Schrank 가족으로부터 24,000 골드마르크에 이 제분소를 구입했습니다. 이곳은 여러 차례 황폐화되었고 세 번의 화재(1881년, 1929년, 1931년)를 겪었습니다. 이 제분소는 1972년까지 곡물 제분소로 운영되었고, 1980년까지는 사료용 분쇄 제분소로만 운영되었습니다. 이미 1976년에 제분소 건물에 식당이 들어섰습니다. 할머니 Alwine Küspert가 사망한 후 막내 손자인 Ernst가 사업을 물려받았습니다. 넓은 공간을 갖춘 제분소 건물의 레스토랑에는 1986년부터 30개의 편안한 객실을 갖춘 호텔이 포함되어 있습니다: Hotel Restaurant Zeiskamer Mühle. 제분소 근처에는 두 개의 황새 둥지가 있습니다. 새로 건설된 물고기 통로(2010년)가 있는 Queich 강변의 수로는 뒤쪽에서 여전히 볼 수 있습니다.

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)
