In 1860, the Wackernheim council decided to purchase a local bleaching plant. In 1862, the required property of approx. 3800 m² was purchased from a total of ten different owners. Lawn bleaching was a process in which white linen, such as sheets or tablecloths, was freed from the grey haze. The washed linen or hemp textiles were spread out on the grass and repeatedly moistened. The interaction of sunlight, water and oxygen from the grasses caused a chemical reaction that produced small amounts of the bleaching agent hydrogen peroxide.…

Today it supplies the Weedbrunnen, whose overflow is led to Neustraße. In the summer months, the water runs above ground up to the Catholic church. In 1934, the milk house was built on the site of the filled-in basin. Whereas previously the…

Once you have mastered the challenging ascent along the Höhenweg, you will see the Napoleon Tower on the hill between Ober-Hilbersheim and Sprendlingen.
