Wolfhagen Mill and 'Heide in der Lutter' Sculpture, Marwede

Since 1438, a mill has been attested in Marwede, but it has its name from the miller Wolfhagen, who rebuilt the mill in 1796 after a fire. The equipment of the grain mill, the sawmill on the other bank and the complete inventory of the former oil mill: everything is still here! There, where today the oil mill is furnished, lived until 1859 the miller family. Only their move to the new house on the other bank made room for muller gangway, stove and press. Finally, the raised floors in 1900 and the Turbinenhaus (1905) tell of the dawn of new times. The brought the mill in the 1960s then the decommissioning. - Courtyard and residential building are leased today to a Demeter operation. The mill itself is currently being restored and should also be used for cultural activities. The Wolfhagen mill is also involved in the "Lutter project", one of the most ambitious water renaturation projects in Germany. In this case, a Umfluter will restore the ecological permeability of the Lutter, but the mill will lose its water, - certainly no undisputed measure among mill friends.

The sculpture "Heath in the Lutter" immediately catches the eye as it crosses the bridge. Very picturesque village.

An old watermill in a lovely old village. Pay attention to the figure in the water.
