🏢 About the local organisation
The “Lucas-Mühle” is a building in a village called Giersleben near Aschersleben in the county of Saxony-Anhalt. The Mill is located next to the river Wipper. Years ago, a waterwheel was installed to help with the production of flour. Right now, the building was not used for a longer period of time and needs reconstruction. The ground of the whole area is about 25.000m² wide where fruit trees and vegetables are growing. In 2018 the foundation “Lucas Mühle e.V. was established by 8 friends to carry out diverse projects. The aim is to practice holistic living and invite people to join the project to make their ideas come true. To do this they want to bring old and young people of the region together to share their knowledge of nature and skills.
