It was a "forced mill" for the Hohner Harde.
The building from 1787 had an overshot, internal water wheel with a dam height of 2.5 m until 1920. Today it has an external, undershot water wheel as a "show wheel" without a drive in the house; there is no longer any technology.
This location has acquired a certain historical significance through the Storm miller family, who were tenants here from 1542 to 1863. Johann-Casimir Storm, the father of the famous poet Theodor Storm, was born here.

A beautiful place on the mill pond in the middle of Westermühlen, where Theodor Storm, whose father came from Westermühlen, liked to spend his holidays.
The poem "Westermühlen" that Theodor Storm wrote in 1837 can be read on the information board.
