Carp is considered the fish of the region. Benjamin Junghanns is firmly convinced of this. No wonder, since he deals with the popular food fish almost every day. The 39-year-old is part of the Eulo pond farm and takes care of foreign trade and sales at the regional weekly markets - in Forst (Wednesday), Spremberg (Thursday) and Cottbus (Friday). He also takes care of smoking the tasty non-predatory fish. The family business has been run by father Christoph Junghanns for more than 30 years and, as usual, things get really stressful towards the end of the year. "From September onwards, the ponds are gradually drained and preparations are made for the Christmas business," reports Benjamin Junghanns. The Forst pond farmers ultimately have to look after more than 35 ponds. Even if Junghanns Junior cannot give an exact figure for this year's quantity, an average of around 30 tons of food carp are "harvested" each year.

The manor house in Gahry was restored from 2003 to 2005 under the supervision of historical monuments. It is not clear when exactly it was built. In 1910, Gneomar von Natzmer (Jun.) bought the manor house, colloquially known as the castle, from the Dorendorff family, who were in financial trouble. The rear extension and the castle pond were probably built afterwards. The design of the park also began. After the war ended, the von Natzmer family was expropriated and resettled families were accommodated in the manor house. The Gahry School Combine was located in the building from 1952-1978. The after-school care center remained in the castle until 2001. Today there are 5 apartments in the castle, and since 2016 there has been a wedding room and a home parlor.
