Using the power of moving water to drive a mill wheel is an ancient invention of the human spirit of discovery, the origins of which can be traced back to times long past. Thanks to such a construction, human or animal muscle power could be easily replaced by the power of the natural elements through a watercourse - natural or artificially created - in order to grind grain into corn or press oil from fruit, for example.

There are essentially two different ways of driving watermills:

* Either the flowing water simply hits the blades of the water wheel from below to set it in motion; or
* the water is guided above the wheel - usually through a so-called "mill channel" - and falls onto the blades; this type of construction is more efficient due to natural gravity.

The copper mill can only be visited from the outside. Here only events take place. From here you can hike through the Kupfersiefertal.

It was built as a flour mill in 1783. Elector Karl Theodor had granted the concession to build a mill on Kupfersiefer Bach. Because the creek often had only a low water level and thus lacked the required driving force for the mill wheel, since 1820 a liquor distillery was additionally set up as a sideline.
