The community paid a fixed annual amount for the maintenance of the animal. The…

It takes its name from a rock niche (Kaut) in the Rotliegende. This was created by mining rock gravel (Kummer), which was used as fertiliser. Because of its high potash content, the…
The building that is now used as an evangelical community center is an example of the traditional regional stone masonry. It was built in 1828 as an evangelical school with a teacher's apartment, stable, and barn, after the old building at School Street 6 was no longer sufficient.
