Around 1806, a trestle windmill was built at the south-western end of the village. The first owner of this mill was the miller Johann Christoph Tzschanter. The windmill, which had been damaged by war and storms, was demolished in 1891. Today, only a plaque at the entrance reminds us of the old mill site, which has been a popular place of excursions for decades. The innkeeper even wrote a poem about the mill on an old picture postcard.
Es stand in alten Zeiten,
es ist schon lange her,
die Kunnerwitzer Mühle,
das Mahlen ging oft schwer.
Wie alles ist vergänglich
in dieser schönen Welt,
so ist in einer Sturmnacht
die Mühle hier zerschellt.
Und wenn Du gehst ins Freie,
üb‘ Redlichkeit und Treue
und trink hier Dein Glas Bier.
English:
It was in the old days,
it was long ago,
the Kunnerwitz Mill,
The grinding was often difficult.
How everything is transient
in this beautiful world,
So on a stormy night
the mill here was smashed to pieces.
And when you go out into the open,
practice honesty and loyalty
and drink your glass of beer here.
