    Tips

    October 3, 2017

    Schweppenhausen is about 15 kilometers north of Bad Kreuznach and 11 kilometers southeast of Bingen in the lower Guldenbach valley. The Guldenbach is an extremely steep water body - favorable conditions for the mill operation. In the 19th century there were still more than 40 mills in the Guldenbach valley from the source to the mouth, eight of them alone in the small district of Schweppenhäusen. One of them is a former oil mill, which was in danger of falling into disrepair in the 1970s. Heinrich Zimmermann bought it, invested a lot of time and money and repaired the mill and residential building years later. Today you can visit the mill wheel and millstone as well as the estate and rent the adjacent restored rooms.

        Because of its slope, there were more than 40 mills on the Guldenbach. The Schweppenhausen oil mill is one of them. The old estate can be visited today and the premises can be rented.
