Took this picture about 4 weeks ago and almost forgot about it. Now this is our “Pulverturm” (powder magazine). It the last remaining part of the original historic fortification. It was build in 1529 and was used til 1765.
This is a part of the original old moat. They started to build the castle Oldenburg around 1100 which makes this piece of moat a very old body of water.
“Zum Drögen Hasen” was est. in 1848 by a guy named Gerd Bruns. The original name of this inn was “Krug- und Schankwirtschaft im Brunschen Hause zu Wechloy”. Ya, the had to change that name for sure. Nowadays it still serves as an inn and popular event location. If you google “Drögen Hasen” you will find a lot of very old fotos.
