Until 1889, there was the so-called "Weed" here. It was an artificially created pond where horses and other draft animals were washed and watered after work. Additionally, the Weed also served as a fire-fighting water pond. The water basin was fed by a spring that originates in the area "Im Schneckenbangert." Today, it supplies the Weed fountain, whose overflow is directed into Neustraße. In the summer months, water runs there above ground up to the Catholic church.
In 1934, the milk house was built on the site of the filled-in basin. While previously milk had to be picked up from individual farms, farmers from the village now delivered it to this central collection point. It was cooled in the milk house until further transport.
By the way: The place with its various functions also held significance as a social meeting point. In 1905, a Schiller lime tree was planted here to commemorate the 100th anniversary of the poet's death.
