In the long-gone days of our grandparents, a central bakehouse was common for the village community. In many places, these were eventually demolished. Here in Bolsdorf, however, it has been preserved and still bears witness to the old days.

When we hear of the patronage of Saint Thomas, most people in Germany probably automatically think back two thousand years to the time of Christ, because one of the twelve apostles Jesus called to follow him bears this name. In the biblical accounts of the New Testament, he is nicknamed "Didymus," which means "twin" in German. In this case, however, the chosen patron of the former monastery and current retreat house—and also the namesake of this place in the Eifel district of Bitburg-Prüm—refers to Saint Thomas Becket (1118 to 1170), also known as Thomas of Canterbury after the place of his bishopric and martyrdom. Incidentally, Canterbury Cathedral (Kent, England) can be visited—at least virtually in the komoot system—at the following link =>> https://www.komoot.com/de-de/highlight/231266

The building, the "Old Forge", now serves as a village community center and event location. But as the name suggests, the 19th century building was once used to practice a very old craft that was an essential part of any village at the time. As the craft lost more and more importance in the 20th century, the craft was abandoned and the old building became vacant. In the 1980s, the property was purchased by the town of Hillesheim and extensively renovated in 1981. Since then, it has served as the center of the village for the residents of Bolsdorf.
