The Krebshäger Mill was built in 1864 and was used as a feed mill until the 1970s. Despite a few fires around 1900, the interior and some machinery are still intact today. A mill association, founded in 1995, is dedicated to the preservation of this historic building. It's worth pausing for a moment at the mill wheel and listening to the water feature.

At the Krebshäger Mill, built in 1864 and still in operation as a feed mill until the 1970s, the steam engine was later replaced by an electric motor. According to written records, a previous mill must have existed as early as 1849. Inside the mill building, which was last renovated after fire damage in 1898 and 1908, all grinding gears and machines are still preserved and functional. A mill association has been taking care of the preservation of the building since 1995. The reconstruction of the mill wheel was carried out by apprentices from a local industrial company. In April 2018, the mill appeared to me in a state that was in need of renovation from the outside.

Starting with the water wheel and the large gear construction with its metal and partly wooden gears, around 40 machines were powered on the ground floor and the two upper floors.
A sophisticated system of transmission belts kept the machines moving so that the mill, built around 1867, could produce around two tons of flour per day. The water drive only served as the system's main source of energy in the first few years.

Soon the Krumme Bach no longer had a consistently sufficient amount of water for this form of drive, so a steam engine and, from 1927, a direct current motor provided the main thrust for the mill.
