The Howieker water mill was built in 1608 as a grain mill with an undershot water wheel by the Howiek farmers Dietrich, Oltmann and Gerd zu Howiek on the Ollenbäke. Since the watercourse had many turns and little gradient, the backwater flooded the adjacent meadows. That is why the residents are said to have pulled up the dam bulkheads at night and pierced the embankments of the mill dam. Despite the disputes, the mill operated for 300 years.

Going to the mill by bike is simply part of it. Take something to feast on and enjoy the break. Well, you can also take good photos, there is a lot to explore.
