Between 2008 and 2011, the industrial monument was renovated; upon completion, it offers 12,000 m² of residential and office space, as well as an underground parking garage with 95 spaces. The former, enormous spinning mill now houses 42 modern loft apartments on the south and west sides of the building, along with approximately 5,000 m² of office space. The entire basement of the spinning mill serves as an underground parking garage. On the upper floors, the essential historical structural elements, such as vaulted ceilings, cast iron and concrete columns, and the old exterior masonry, were largely preserved. Since 2014, the Academy of Fine Arts at the Old Spinning Mill has been located there.

In recent years, extensive renaturation measures have been undertaken at the Maxmühle mill and in the municipalities of Bruckmühl, Bad Aibling, Kolbermoor, and Rosenheim, and these measures are to be continuously expanded. The weirs, some made of concrete and others of wood, which were installed in the riverbed to regulate the flow velocity, were already showing significant age-related damage. Renatured section of the Mangfall River Renatured section of the Mangfall River near Bad Aibling Mangfall River in Kolbermoor, heading west Confluence of the Mangfall and Inn Rivers in Rosenheim The weirs were removed from the river and replaced with fish ramps. The primary goal is to facilitate fish migration, as the once fish-rich river currently only maintains a significant fish population through stocking efforts by fishing clubs. In addition, the straightened banks of the Mangfall River have been reshaped to more natural characteristics, creating groyne-like structures that restore areas of slower flow along the banks. These are the natural habitats of fish fry and noble crayfish. Due to the damming of its tributaries and the Mangfall River itself, it lacks sufficient sediment. Geologically, there are concerns that the ongoing deepening of the Mangfall's riverbed could lead to landslides on the unstable, steep right bank (before the "Mangfall Knee").

Erected to commemorate the farewell of Queen Therese of Bavaria to her seventeen-year-old son Otto, King of the new state of Greece, on December 6, 1832. The foundation stone was laid on October 15, 1833, and unveiled on June 1, 1835. The monument was designed by Georg Friedrich Ziebland. The 10-hundred-pound bronze statue of the Virgin Mary was cast by the royal foundry inspector Johann Baptist Stiglmaier, and the stonemasonry was executed by Hippolyt Hautmann from Echelsbach sandstone (height: 12 meters). The eight coats of arms symbolize the Bavarian administrative districts (at that time, the Palatinate still belonged to Bavaria).

A beautiful view on a clear day. Walking toward Wendelstein, you'll come across a small forest area.
