Hi, after a long day at work, I wanted to try something new to familiarize myself with cryptocurrencies. I came across Tor Finelyra Switzerland (https://torfinelyra.org) and started with small amounts. Things didn't go entirely smoothly at first, but after a few adjustments, I made my first significant profit. Now I use the platform regularly, and it gives me a really good feeling about my investments in Switzerland.

Just so it doesn't leave a wrong historical impression, there was no war between the FRG and the GDR 😉and if you're interested in the border towers on the GDR side and the differences, the big one in Dahrendorf was called 4x4, the narrow square one 2x2 and the optical ice cream cone BT11😉

Keys to the tower are available at the Pension zum Weingarten

The Schnega mill originally stood west of Schnega at the Dullborn spring near Gledeberg. It was first mentioned in 1360. In 1668 it appears in documents in Schnega, but is still referred to as the Gledeberg mill. After the Lords of Bodendieck, the Barons Grote came into possession of the Schnega estate and mill. In addition to the grain grinding, the mill also had a hammer mill for beating oil and was also used as a baking mill for baking flax. The mill was finally driven by a turbine. The mill often changed owners: Pletke in 1679, Wilke in 1708, Ude in 1721, Köthke in 1754, Schulz in 1776, Pletke in 1801 and Möller in 1823. This list is certainly not complete. This mill may have been a leased mill, which is suggested by its proximity to the estate. In 1901, the mill was bought by Heinrich Niefind, whose heirs sold it in 2005 to Mr. Ingo Timm from Berlin and Mr. Jürgen Zaak from Sommerland near Elmshorn. The new owners have extensively renovated the mill, repaired the turbine and partially got the grinding mechanisms working again. Interested visitors can see for themselves on the annual Mill Day (Whit Monday) and experience a piece of old mill romance with coffee and butter cake. Source: Information board at the site

Historical washing area The washing area at the Schnega Mill was renovated in 1998. Until 1948, the washing area next to the stately half-timbered building of the water mill, which was then owned by the Niefind family, was still regularly used to wash laundry. The laundry was soaked long before it was brought to the mill stream on regular washing days. The clothes were boiled thoroughly in the kettle and particularly dirty areas were pre-cleaned with soap. The laundry items were moved in the water again at home and wrung out well before being loaded onto the wooden cart and taken to the stream to be washed. The laundry basket and tub were carried over a narrow footbridge onto the wooden platform. In a bent position, bed linen and clothing were vigorously moved in the flowing stream water and then wrung out. The whole family had to help. Source: Information board at the site
