The Christian belief that at the end of time the dead will be resurrected and ALL SAINTS (not only those officially declared "saints" by the established church, but all of us, as the apostles emphasize in their letters to the first Christian communities, are "called to holiness") will ascend to heaven, has shaped not only theology and popular piety, but also, of course, religious song. A very widespread—and probably the best-known—gospel song on this theme, which originated in America and spread throughout the world, has the refrain: "Oh when the Saints go marching in, oh when the Saints go marching in, oh Lord, I want to be in that number, oh when the Saints go marching in." Throughout music history, many artists have taken up the lyrics, the original version of which—due to its initial oral transmission—is lost to history, and interpreted them in their own personal way.

The Kuhmühlen recreation area is a popular destination because of the beauty and diversity of the landscape. The former mill building, where mill operations began over 500 years ago, now houses a hotel and restaurant right by the mill pond. https://www.nordwaerts.de/sehenswuerdigkeiten-museen/poi/erholungsgebiet-kuhmuehlen-100200399/ or www.hotel-kloster-muehle.de

The cow mill, also known as the monastery or border mill, has a very long tradition. More than 750 years ago the Kuhbach near Kuhmühlen was dammed to form a 2.5 hectare mill pond in order to operate a water mill here. Today the "Hotel zur Kloster-Mühle" is located in the building (quote from the operator: "A jewel away from the noise and hustle and bustle, surrounded by a scenic spot full of fascination.")
