The Maltese mill in Herrenstrunden

One of the most beautiful houses in Bergisch Gladbach and the surrounding area is the Maltese Mill in Herrenstrunden. I especially like the thatched roof. It was re-thatched a few years ago. During that time, I passed by it several times and observed the work being done. It was very interesting.

There is a small sign on the street that provides information about the history of the house:

The Maltese Mill is first documented in writing in the year 1329. During the time of the Order of Malta, it was leased as a compulsory mill for the surrounding farms. The tenants had to deliver a certain amount of ground grain to the commandery. The mill building that still stands today was built in 1728 by the commander Freiherr von Wachtendonk. Around 1800, brandy, beer, and coffee were served in the mill, and in the 19th century, it also served as a dance floor for the Herrenstrunden fair. Regular milling operations continued until 1930 and were finally discontinued in 1944 after a break in the mill ditch. Extensive renovations of the mill building took place starting in 1961."

The Stallhof in the Dresden Castle

From the gallery MIVERSIUM / Michael The Stallhof, located in the Dresden Castle , is a historic building that has played an important role in the cultural and political history of the region. Originally built in the early 16th century as a stable for the Elector of Saxony's horses, the Stallhof has undergone numerous renovations and changes over the centuries. The building's most recent renovation took place in the 1990s, and it has since become a popular venue for cultural events such as concerts, exhibitions, and festivals. The Stallhof is one of the largest courtyards in Europe and has a rich history that is worth exploring. The Stallhof's origins date back to 1514 when Elector Frederick III commissioned the construction of the stables for his horses. The building was designed in a Renaissance style and included several wings that surrounded a large central courtyard.
