Mill pond and mill dam
The Syker Mühlenteich stretched up to the Mühlendamm in the middle of the 20th century. The dam and the backwater were built around 1387 on behalf of Count Otto III. by Hoya. The water from the Hache dammed here powered a grain mill that the sovereign had built opposite Syker Castle, today's district court.
The water mill, which was almost completely demolished in 1969, was in operation until 1951. After turbines replaced water wheels in 1903 and 1910, large amounts of backwater were no longer necessary. The miller therefore stopped the pond cleaning that was previously usual. The body of water, which was artificially created in the late Middle Ages, became increasingly silted up and silted up, which caused some resentment among the population. Finally, the city of Syke bought the historic mill pond site and had it converted into a park in 1956. The horseshoe-shaped reservoir disappeared. Where the dam island used to be, a kidney-shaped pond was created, in keeping with contemporary taste. Sykes “Mill” Pond acquired its current shape when the park was redesigned in the 1970s.

The Henstedt Village Museum is a privately owned local history museum in Syke-Henstedt in the Diepholz district in Lower Saxony.
It was founded by Waltraut Köhler, who exhibited privately collected museum objects from Henstedt and the surrounding area in her own rooms. The “Village Museum – Henstedt as it used to be” is now known far beyond the small Syker district.
The village museum is located south of the Henstedt town center on the road to Bassum-Neubruchhausen.
The main focus of the exhibition is spread over 175 m² of exhibition space in a former stable building: old farm equipment and objects from agriculture, home economics, Henstedt school history and the lives of children in earlier times. The structural change in the village of Henstedt from 1867 to the present is documented. A bunker from the Second World War can also be visited.
Thorsten Köhler serves as the museum director on a voluntary basis. Waltraut Köhler, the museum's founder, wrote several writings that make the museum's collections accessible. (Source: wikipedia)
