Discover Thalmannsfeld: Crafts, Gardens and Brewing Culture
Accommodation in Thalmannsfeld
Thalmannsfeld combines a historic craft tradition, gardens tended by local associations and children, and a distinctive brewing history. These themes can be found at specific places in Thalmannsfeld: at the Old Hammer Mill, in the herb garden, in the Children's Garden and at Felsen Bräu.
Old Hammer Mill: Historic Crafts in the Residential Barn House
The Old Hammer Mill in Thalmannsfeld is located in a historic residential barn house built around 1740. The combination of living and working areas places the site within an older rural building and craft tradition. The residential barn house thus combines two areas of use within the same historic building fabric.
Inside the Old Hammer Mill are faithfully restored historic machines and transmission systems dating from around 1900. The systems make the technical side of the former blacksmithing trade an independent theme of the site. The transmission systems point to the technical working side of the forge, while the residential barn house provides the architectural framework. The residential barn house built around 1740 and the systems dating from around 1900 come from different historical periods. Visitors interested in historic building styles can pay attention to the combination of living and working areas in the residential barn house. Those interested in technology can focus on the machines and transmission systems dating from around 1900. When viewing the Old Hammer Mill, you can distinguish between its architectural framework and technical equipment.
Gardens with Different Areas of Focus
The herb garden of the Thalmannsfeld Association for Horticulture and Landscape Conservation is located in the center of the village. Various culinary and medicinal herbs grow there and are tended by the association. Its location in the village center and the association's care give the herb garden a clear local setting.
The Children's Garden in Thalmannsfeld has its own focus. It is cultivated by the village's children themselves. The garden includes vegetables, ornamental plants, a water-drawing station and a herb spiral, all of which are tended by the children. The water-drawing station and herb spiral complement the cultivation of vegetables and ornamental plants. This distinguishes the care of the Children's Garden from the association's care of the herb garden.
Tours for Groups by Prior Arrangement
By prior arrangement, the Old Hammer Mill offers short tours for groups of five or more people. The tour covers the historic residential barn house and its machines and transmission systems. For groups interested in culture, the minimum group size of five people is a clear organizational requirement; at the same time, prior arrangement remains part of the offer. The short tour is therefore tied to a specific historic site, a group size of five people and a prior arrangement.
Felsen Bräu and the Solar-Powered Brewery
Felsen Bräu also brings a topic from the region's brewing history to Thalmannsfeld. Felsen Bräu describes itself as Germany's first solar-powered brewery. On May 3, 2007, the brewery was certified and honored by the Technical University of Munich-Weihenstephan as Germany's first solar-powered brewery. The solar-powered brewery combines beer brewing and solar energy.
