history

The name de Kulemolne was first mentioned in 1430 and another in 1431 in the spelling de Kulemollen , a watermill located at the outflow of the Great Baalsee . In the 19th century there was a grain and oil mill in the village. After the end of the First World War , the Communist Party of Germany used the location to set up a training home.

In 1933 the National Socialist German Workers' Party confiscated the home and turned it into a Hitler Youth leadership school . After the completion of a new thing place and a new tar road to Dranse, the place was used by the Hitler Youth (HJ) as an event location for an international tent camp in 1935 . The so-called Germany camp took place parallel to the highland camp of the Hitler Youth.

In the GDR , the area was used as a youth rest home and later partly by the Ministry of the Interior as the H als Chí Minh Central Pioneer Camp . The VEB special construction Berlin could also utilize the terrain. Hotels and bungalows were run by the Feliks Dzierżyński Guard Regiment .

Rock garden with stele for Artur Becker

Until the nearby Wittstock military training area was finally closed in 2011, the commandant's office responsible for it, including a Bundeswehr fire brigade, was stationed at Kuhlmühler Straße 1. The 27  hectare site was sold that same year. The Coolmühle association wants to develop the site sustainably and ecologically. In 2017, the former ward block was gutted and is to be prepared for holiday guests and workshop participants. A rock garden with a memorial for Artur Becker was built on the former mill pond . The center for ecological and social sustainability, permaculture and closeness to nature is still located on the premises of the association . Among other things, it operates a hand mill museum.

Large parts of the various sections of the Hedonist International met in Kuhlmühle for their third world congress in 2012.

traffic

Kuhlmühle can only be reached via side streets. A connection leads from the northern exit of Dranse via Berlinchener Strasse and Kuhlmühler Strasse to the settlement on the north bank of the Großer Baalsee.

Kuhlmühle is on the Wittenberge – Strasburg railway line . The tracks are located southeast of the village on the other side of the lake. The facilities, including the Kuhlmühle station, which has been closed since 1995, belong to the Wittstock / Dosse– Mirow section , on which local rail transport was canceled in 1998 and which was shut down in 2000.
