Goderner Watermill

Almost everyone who passes by this enchanting place would like to hug the small-leaved lime and actually the water mill - and keep them forever. In the case of the small-leaved lime tree, it fails because it has a circumference of 5.80 meters - in the case of the water mill, it is probably due to the owners. Nevertheless: An enchanting place, right on the Mühlbach and Mühlensee.As you can easily see on site: History is attached to the wheels of the water mill. It goes back to the 14th century. And if the small-leaf linden could tell, books about the changeable history could be filled.sagen-erlebnis-pfad.de/stations/18-goderner-wassermuehle

The Godern watermill, probably founded in the 14th century as a sovereign mill, came into the possession of the knights of the Gneven squire von Peterstorff at the beginning of the 18th century, who leased it in 1708. The millstones were driven via a king shaft by an undershot mill wheel, which was attached to the eastern gable end of the mill building - still recognizable today by the water supply and the boarded mill wheel dwelling, which incidentally contained an eel catch.Since the Mühlbach, which feeds from the Pinnower See, has hardly any gradient, the miller had to dam the Mühlensee excessively high for the purpose of sufficient water pressure, which brought him constant trouble. Both Goderner farmers, but especially the Pinnower pastors, complained for centuries about the excessive accumulation of the Mühlensee, which flooded their lands. The pastors, however, railed particularly loudly against the miller, since he made it completely impossible for the faithful in Godern to go to church in Pinnow on Sundays by flooding the church path.sagen-erlebnis-pfad.de/stations/18-goderner-wassermuehle

Note: the mill is privately owned
