First documented in 1799, the mill produced a coffee substitute (Mocca-Faux or, in German, Muckefuck) from chicory. In 1859, the mill, by then a roofing felt factory, was crenellated. Later, it served as a tower house for the employees of the municipal gasworks until 2000. Today, it is a restaurant.

The "Kniehauer chic chicory" mentioned for the first time in 1799 is the last remaining mill in the Berlin suburb. In order to gain a monopoly on coffee consumption in Prussia, coffee substitutes, so-called mocha faux or Germanized muckefuck, were produced from the roots of the Wegwarte (chicory). Operation ceased in 1813, and an illustration from 1838 shows it without wings.

Can be easily combined with the Hans Otto Theater next door.
