However, the mill on the Dreisbach and therefore named after him is now only a ruin in the landscape. Using the power of moving water to drive a mill wheel is an ancient invention of the human spirit of discovery, the origins of which can be traced far back to times long past.
Thanks to such a construction, it was possible to simply replace human or animal muscle power with the power of natural elements using a watercourse - natural or artificial - in order, for example, to grind grain into grain or press oil from fruit.
There are essentially two drive variants for water mills:
* Either the flowing water simply hits the blades of the water wheel from below to set it in motion; or
* The water flow is guided above the wheel - usually through a so-called "mill channel" - and falls onto the blades. This design ensures greater efficiency due to natural gravity.
