    The old mill on the Karthanewehr is an eye-catcher when guests come to the Plattenburg. However, it hasn't been a nicer one for years.
    The listed building changed hands several times after the fall of the Wall. Often there have been great and great concepts, enriched with high investment sums, the municipal administration describes the situation. But nothing happened. The building continues to grow asleep, while the ravages of time gnaw in many places.

      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 far back to times long past. Thanks to such a construction, it was possible to simply replace human or animal muscle power with the power of the natural elements using a watercourse - natural or artificial - in order, for example, to grind grain into grain or press oil from fruit.
      There are essentially two drive variants for water mills:
      * Either the flowing water simply hits the blades of the waterwheel from below to set it in motion; or
      * The water flow is guided above the wheel - usually through a so-called "mill channel" - and falls onto the blades. This design ensures greater efficiency due to natural gravity.
