Title: Great fire destroys Eselsmühle in Leinfelden-Echterdingen

In the early Monday morning, the Siebenmühlental in Leinfelden-Echterdingen was shaken by a devastating major fire. The historic building of the donkey mill became a victim of the flames. The fire brigade was alerted around 5:30 a.m. and when it arrived on the site, the building was already in full fire.

According to the fire brigade, the fire is said to have assumed a balcony and quickly spread out to the roof structure. As a result, several fire departments had to be mobilized to control the fire. The extinguishing work is expected to be used all Monday. So far, there is no information about the cause of the fire or the amount of damage, but luckily there should have been no injuries.

The donkey mill was a popular destination and a historical landmark in Leinfelden-Echterdingen. The building, which still came from the 17th century, housed a restaurant and apartments and was estimated by many visitors. The municipality will hit the loss of this cultural site.

The mayor of Leinfelden-Echterdingen, in whose area of responsibility the donkey mill falls, expressed dismayed about the extent of the fire. She promised support in the extinguishing work and announced that it would support the reconstruction of the historical building.

The big fire of the donkey mill not only caused material damage, but also means an emotional loss for the municipality of Leinfelden-Echterdingen. It remains to be seen which further information will come to light in the course of the investigation and how the community will recover after this tragic event.
