Remaining artisanship in the final functioning mill in Erfurt
On July 31, Thomas Kuntze, the Chief Physician of Cardiac Surgery at the Heart Center Bad Berka, will deliver a lecture on heart health at Haus Dacheröden, marking his final public appearance before his retirement in August. The event is part of the "Bold Questions to Chief Physicians" series [1].
Meanwhile, details about the Great Mill Day at Erfurt's Holy Mill remain to be confirmed. Typically held in spring or summer, Great Mill Day events in Germany feature guided tours, demonstrations, and family activities celebrating traditional milling and local heritage. The Holy Mill, a historic watermill renowned locally, would likely follow suit if hosting such an event.
To find the exact date, schedule, and activities for the Great Mill Day at Erfurt's Holy Mill in 2025, one should consult the official Erfurt city tourism website or cultural event calendar, local heritage or mill associations in Erfurt, or event flyers or announcements close to the event date.
In a separate development, Evag, the Erfurt public transport company, is offering a free self-defense workshop for women aged 16 and above. The workshop, titled "Strong on the go in public transport", will take place on August 20 from 4 pm to 7 pm at the Evag operating site at Urbicher Kreuz. Participants must register by August 15 [2].
The workshop aims to sensitize women to uncertain situations in public spaces and provide them with tools to deal with stress or potentially threatening moments. Refreshments, including pearl barley soup, will be provided. The program includes live music, a historical fashion show, and hourly water drawing from the millpond [3].
For those unable to attend in person, the workshop will be streamed online at www.zentralklinik.de/live, with questions able to be asked in the chat during the live stream [4].
Meanwhile, at the Holy Mill, Miller Jürgen Naue will guide tours during the event, making it the last functioning mill in Erfurt [5]. The Magdeburg-Allee Association will provide information about 880 years of Ilversgehofen [6]. Further information and registration for both events can be found at their respective websites.

In the context of local heritage events, it is anticipated that the Holy Mill, known for its traditional milling practices, might host a Great Mill Day event, similar to those celebrating local heritage, complete with guided tours, demonstrations, and family activities. Additionally, one could consider enhancing their home-and-garden lifestyle by attending Evag's free self-defense workshop, titled "Strong on the go in public transport", designed to empower women with tools for handling potential threats in public spaces, which is scheduled to be streamed online for those unable to attend in person.
