What is happening at Albrechtser Mühlplatz? Two weeks ago there was a disturbing incident: the historic water wheel at the old Albrechtser mill collapsed. The incident, which is a major concern for local residents, raises questions about the preservation of cultural assets.

Residents like Bruno Endter hope that the city administration will finally take action and take the necessary steps. It remains to be seen whether the city will heed citizens' warnings and take the necessary measures to preserve the legacy of the old mill. One thing is certain: the time to act has come, because any further hesitation could have fatal consequences for the historic building.
