Lovingly restored and, as the nice ladies from the local history society told me, the location is often used for weddings. In the basement there is a large generator that is driven by water power via a large flywheel or turbine and feeds electricity into the grid.

Coffee and cake as well as sandwiches are also available on the days it is open. A really worthwhile stopover or interim destination - but always keep an eye on the opening times.

In this system, electrical energy is generated. By hydropower.

From the Hörstel local history association website:
Reining's mill has been documented as a water mill since 1720. At that time it had a water wheel and was built in the usual half-timbered style with a size of 12 x 9 meters.
Almost 200 years later, around 1900, this water wheel was replaced by a turbine that powered the grinding process.
From the 1930s onwards, the turbine was able to generate electricity. This electricity supplied the mill, but also the Reining family farm.
The mill was rebuilt in 1952. The area was doubled and two floors were added. At the beginning of the 1980s, the milling operation was stopped and only animal feed was sold.
In 2003, the town of Hörstel acquired this mill from the previous owner, Antonius Reining. With the entire surrounding area, it covers a total area of around 1 hectare. The town of Hörstel transferred the house rights and thus the obligations for maintenance and care to the Dreierwalde local history association.
Reinings Mill is part of the mill path in the Hörstel urban area, alongside the Lewedach Mill, the Klei Mill, the Knollmanns Mill and the Gravenhorst Monastery Mill.
This mill is therefore not only a technical monument, but also has a certain tourist appeal.

Since 2004, Reinings Mill has been a branch of the Hörstel registry office. Around 40 weddings take place in the mill every year in idyllic surroundings.

Open as a café on the first Sunday of every month from 2 p.m. to 6 p.m. from April to October
