Since then, the new attraction has been standing just after the entrance to Schmidmühlen: a tree around 20 meters high, decorated with watering cans in bright colors. A total of around 250 of them hang from the branches. Mayor Peter Braun describes the tree as one of the most photographed motifs in Schmidmühlen. The tree is decorated every year before Easter - the watering cans then remain hanging until All Saints Day. However, to ensure that they can withstand heavy downpours, the building yard employees also had to take precautions. Among other things, the watering cans were drilled so that rainwater does not collect in them and the watering cans could become too heavy for the tree. Schmidmühlen's mayor Peter Braun simply calls this tree the "Kannenbaum". The name came about at an autumn festival organized by the Schmidmühlen senior citizens' group. The senior citizens there came up with something and turned the song "Oh Tannenbaum" into a humorous "Oh Kannenbaum" - a reference to the attraction at the entrance to the town. After the dreary winter - during Lent - the tree is decorated freshly every year. And in doing so it brings a bit of colour to the community - and perhaps currently to the whole time. https://www.otv.de/schmidmuehlen-giesskannenbaum-am-ortseingang-430939/

Hospital churches indicate a former hospital location. The former hospitals not only cared for the sick, but often also for the elderly and poor. They were usually located on the outskirts of town or outside the town walls. The churches and chapels were part of this, as there was often not much that could be done for the sick other than hope and prayer.
