The watermill was first mentioned in a document in 1721. It was used as a grain mill until 1954 and is driven by an overshot water wheel, with the necessary water being supplied from above via a channel. This mill drive was invented in the late Middle Ages and has only been documented in Germany since the 14th century. The power is transmitted to the grinders by gears, shafts and belts. At the end of the 19th century, the technology was supplemented by a transmission, a roller mill and elevators, among other things, and the mill has been open to the public as a museum since 1976. It provides a vivid insight into the functional milling technology and the working and living conditions of the millers at the time. In four former living and utility rooms, visitors can see a miller's apartment furnished with period furniture. Not authentically furnished, but recreated, this exhibition contains treasures of various origins." language: "en" type: "Place" image: "https://dam.destination.one/3791883/cae4f64278c1b1f4ba96c0e17a9c13fc4fff940b0ea20af9a0fbc6c2e6dc549a/museum-wasserm-hle.jpg" breadcrumb: "Root > Mulderadweg > Special > Destination.Data Details > Poi" --- Share Museum Wassermühle Höfgen ========================= - Museum/art collection Museum Wassermühle Museum Wassermühle Urlaubsdorf Höfgen Die Getreidemühle wurde 1721 erstmals erwähnt.
