Captivated by the History of Mills:
An evening that brings tradition and history together in an inspiring way.
On June 18, 2026, the presentation “History of the Mills in the Upper Thaya Valley” took place in the Raiffeisenbank hall in Waidhofen/Th—this time as part of the “Waldviertler Energie Stammtisch”—and was once again very well received.
Lisa Dyk hosted the evening. Erich Kerschbaumer discussed regional history, Reinhard Bentz explained mill drive technology, and Gunther Scheubrein demonstrated how light came to the Thaya Valley. Master miller Hannah Eisner presented the differences in milling methods then and now.
A thoroughly researched and richly illustrated book on the “Geschichte der Mühlen am Oberlauf der Thaya” was presented and is currently available at Trafik Tauber in Raabs/Th.
