Last chance: Sprangers say goodbye to the historic Staudtenmühle!
In Thossen, in the picturesque surroundings of Plauen, the Staudtenmühle is closing its doors. On Whit Monday it opened to visitors for the last time and said goodbye to a loyal community. The reason for the end of this traditional site is the retirement of the couple Petra and Theo Spranger, who formed the heart of the mill for many years. It's a farewell that leaves both the Sprangers and the visitors with mixed feelings. The mill was in operation until the mid-1970s and has collected numerous stories and memories since then.
When it was last opened, visitors had the opportunity to take part in guided tours of the former mill. They were not only able to look at the venerable walls, but also delve deep into the history and tradition of grinding. The insights gained and the opportunity to chat with the Sprangers in person made the day a special experience. It was a nice farewell for everyone involved.
