      The Brauweiler mill worked with wind until 1904. In 1919 an electric grinder was installed, which has been at a standstill since 1952. The tower was renovated at the end of the eighties.

        Already 20 years ago, young people from the Arthur Koepchen secondary school warned: “The Brauweiler Mühle must not die!” In 2011, citizens prevented a possible building area, now the building is awaiting renovation. Today's stone tower windmill of the "Wall-Holländer" type was built in 1810 in place of the burnt-down wood predecessor. Decommissioned in 1952, you can still find “various eras of mill technology equipment” inside. The imposing building should be "awakened from its slumber", demands the German Society for Milling Knowledge and Mill Preservation (DGM).
