    The Ellerburg Mill is a former water mill from probably 1781. Today it is unfortunately dry due to a river straightening. Apart from the former mill house, there is unfortunately not much left to see.

    Former water mill (grinding and oil mill) from probably 1781. Undershot water wheel until 1856, turbine drive and locomotives until 1928, then various drives (suction gas and diesel engine). From 1905 with a sawmill, from 1914 also electricity generation. Essential parts of the facility have been preserved.

    The historic Ellerburg mill
    The Ellerburg mill is closely linked to the history of the nearby Ellerburg castle ruins. Its origins date back to the middle of the 16th century, making it a testament to regional cultural history.


    First mentioned in 1566
    The water mill was first mentioned in documents in 1566. At that time, it was an integral part of the so-called "Haus Viestel", which later became Ellerburg. In its function, the mill not only served to process grain, but was also a central element of the economy and supply at the time.
