The watermill in WardenburgAll that is known about the origin of the watermill in Wardenburg is that it belonged to the Hundsmühlen estate. In 1310, there is mention of "Hunoldsmolen", which means "Hunold's mill". The name Hundsmühlen was derived from this. At the end of the 15th century, the mill came into the possession of the Count of Oldenburg.

Count Johann VII bequeathed the mill to his wife in 1576 as a wedding gift. In 1739, a group of five interested parties took over the mill - apparently contrary to the expectations of the bailiff Hinüber, who had already seen himself as the owner. The disappointed bailiff left no stone unturned to make things as difficult as possible for the new tenants: he dammed the Lethe and even diverted it, so that the mill was temporarily dry and a long legal dispute ensued. In 1820, the mill had three water wheels and was used as a grain mill as well as a fulling and oil mill.
