In the past, daily bread was not just a quick trip to the baker, but a whole year's work. To make bread, you needed flour. In order to be able to grind this, grains of grain were needed, which, however, were not so easy to come by.
Long before that, the various types of grain had to be sown, cared for, harvested, threshed and finally separated from the chaff. When there were no tractors or combine harvesters for all this work, the farmers needed a variety of equipment - apart from good weather -
from the plough, the harrow and the field roller to the flail, the cleaning mill and the baking trough.
For centuries, the most important station was the mill. And since the museum is exceptionally fortunate to have a home grinder that is over 400 years old and still in good working order, it goes without saying that it can also be seen in operation: how the heavy mill wheel starts to move and with it an audible rattling, knocking and shaking causes.
