This watermill in 72178 Waldachtal-Vesperweiler / Germany is one of the last water powered saw mills still in productive use (in the wintertime). It’s history goes back to 1435 while the current framesaw is from 1903.
Visited the lake dwelling settlement at 88690 Uhldingen-Mühlhofen, District Unteruhldingen / Germany. Worth every cent. We had a great time there today. I was there as a child myself and I hope that mine will also keep this in good memory 😀
This is a picture of the H0 model railway reconstruction of the Altensteigerle 1891 – 1967 – the first narrow-gauge railway of the Royal Württemberg State Railways. It can be seen once a month in 72213 Altensteig / Germany
Switched to summer tires today. A good opportunity to check on the brakes. This is what brake pads of a BEV look like after ~30.000 kilometers. Almost as new.

Had a surprisingly good time in the archive today. It opened just for a few hours. We were maybe 7 people and most were neighbours of us as well. When I found a bunch of ~20 year old photos we all put our heads together to identify the locations.
Visited Campus Galli in 88605 Meßkirch / Germany and it was awesome. Here you can witness the construction of a medieaval monastic with tools and techniques from the 9th century based on an original plan drawn over 1000 years ago.

Visited the Bachritterburg in 88422 Kanzach / Germany, a reconstruction of a medieaval motte-and-bailey castle from the early 14th. century. It’s a wooden fortification with an enclosed courtyard that has a lot of Living History from various groups going on.
