The Nordland Mühle Jarmen, also called Art Mill Jarmen, is located at the harbor in the town of Jarmen in the Vorpommern-Greifswald district. It was the last still working large mill in Mecklenburg-Western Pomerania and was shut down at the end of September 2020. The mill building, which includes a grain silo, a grain cleaning facility and an administration building, is a listed building along with two other grain silos at the port.

The mill went into operation in 1907 as Elektro Kunstmühle Jarmen GmbH at the port directly on the Peene. Around 1921, the entrepreneur Kurt Kampffmeyer (senior) acquired the mill, which he continued as an art mill and trading stock company. In 1930 he described the Jarmener Kunstmühle in a business report as "the most profitable" of the Kampffmeyer mills.

In 1945 production came to a standstill for a time. After the Second World War, the mill was expropriated and declared public property in the GDR in 1950. In 1974 the company was incorporated into the VEB Kombinat Getreidewirtschaft Neubrandenburg.

After the fall of the Berlin Wall, the Getreidewirtschaft combine was restructured into Nordland Mühlen GmbH. In 1993 the art mill was acquired by Bäckermühlen AG, which in turn was taken over in 1999 by VK Mühlen AG (GoodMills Germany since 2014), to which Kampffmeyer Mühlen GmbH has also belonged since 1983. In 2011, extensive investments were made in modern plant technology and a wheat mill.

The grinding capacity was 60,000 tons of flour and meal products per year. Around 40,000 t to 45,000 t of this was made up of wheat products, the remainder being rye and spelled products.

In September 2019 GoodMills Germany announced the planned closure of the mill for September 2020. Production was taken over from locations in Berlin and Hamburg. In November 2019, a citizens' initiative for the preservation of the Jarmener Mühle was founded, but it did not achieve its goal.
