The Wilhelm Busch Mill (Mühlengasse 8, 37136 Ebergötzen) is like the European Bread Museum in Ebergötzen. For both together a discounted combined ticket can be purchased. As of May 2017, opening hours are Tuesday - Sunday from 10:30 - 13:00 and 14:00 - 16:30. Mondays are closed, except on public holidays. The visit to the mill includes a guided tour on which the old mill technology is demonstrated.

The small town of Ebergötzen is located in the foothills of the Harz near Göttingen. Wilhelm Busch was handed over to the Ebergötz pastor Georg Kleine at the age of 9 for further education. Wilhelm Busch conquered the village with the son of the miller Erich Bachmann, who was the same age. Wilhelm Busch spent the best time of his life, his school days in Ebergötzen. This period from 1841 to 1846 also resulted in his close friendship with the miller's son Erich Bachmann, which lasted until the end of his life. The story of "Max and Moritz", which is probably one of the most well-known in the world, grew out of these shared childhood memories.
The Wilhelm-Busch-Mühle, which was the scene of his rascal story, is now a memorial, a mill museum and a magnet for visitors from Germany and abroad who are enchanted by the charm of the rumbling mill. With carefully selected text and image material, an instructive piece of history about the life and work of Wilhelm Busch is presented.
A special attraction is the ancient grinding system, which is ready for demonstration. During the individually designed tours in the industrial-historical part, the mill wheel is set in motion by water power and the "pumping" millstones grind the grain. In the mill, the everyday life of the millers with their low-ceilinged rooms comes to life again.
