Rural Communities in a Competing Spree: Mills Engage in Tractor Games and Ball Contests
In early July of the previous year, a unique and exciting event took place in the district of Dithmarschen, as two teams went head-to-head in a Tractor-Mühle competition. This captivating contest, which was a variation of the classic board game Mühle, was held on a farm and played on a green field.
The competition was organized by the Norddeutscher Rundfunk (NDR) and reported by the Bauernblatt. The event, which took place over a weekend, was not the first tractor "Mühle" game in the area, as a similar competition had been held ten years prior.
Referees from both participating villages ensured a fair competition, and the contest was recorded by the photographer of Steinburger Agraraction from Wittenbergen in the district of Steinburg, Schleswig-Holstein. The contest was also recorded and shared on the Instagram channels of "ndraufmland."
Each team consisted of three players, who received support from a driver and an usher each. The game involved round bales and tractors, making for a spectacle that was both visually striking and entertaining.
Interestingly, there is no available information in the search results about who organized the Tractor-Mühle competition event the previous year. Despite this gap in the historical record, the event undoubtedly left a lasting impression on those who attended, and it serves as a testament to the creativity and innovation of rural communities.
This village tournament, as reported by the Bauernblatt, marked another successful year of the Tractor-Mühle competition in the Dithmarschen region. Whether you're a fan of tractors, board games, or simply looking for a unique and entertaining event, the Tractor-Mühle competition is certainly worth keeping an eye on.
