Leubengrund
Leubengrund
The Leubengrund is an idyllic wetland biotope surrounded by spruce and beech forests, through which a beautiful hiking trail leads.
Several private fishing ponds characterize the Leubengrund as well as the mills. Five mills were operated in the Leubengrund and are still preserved today:
1st Lindenmühle
2. trumpet mill
3. paper mill (later Linzmühle)
4. fiddle mill
5. cutting mill
Today's Linzmühle is home to a hotel and restaurant.
During the Second World War, Leubengrund was one of several camps in which forced laborers were housed. They had to work in the nearby REIMAHG (Reichsmarschall Hermann Göring) in Walpersberg. The Me262 aircraft was to be built underground here. In 1974, a memorial was erected in memory of the forced laborers, most of whom were deported from Italy, Belgium, Poland and other nations. Commemorative ceremonies are held at the memorial every year.
