As early as 1701, the Berlebecke was dammed in the area of what later became the Upper Mill and one of 3 locks was built under the supervision of the Dutchman Hinrich Kock. The water level at that time was between 3.80 and 4.00 m. When canal shipping was discontinued in 1748, a mill was built in the lock in 1752, the Upper Mill, and a new use was found for the old lock, which could be preserved . The water of the Berlebecke drove three mill wheels. The weir on the headwater above the mill was also built during this period. A second bridge with three segment arches was built in front of an existing arch bridge. The actual weir originally consisted of ten pillars made of sandstone between which the height-adjustable wooden panels were inserted. The mill was in operation until 1958, was shut down and ten years later converted and expanded into a restaurant. At the upper mill, part of the water is taken from the Knochenbach.

Berlebecke

The river flows in a northerly direction through a narrow valley in which cascading steps have been created to reduce the flow rate. The Berlebecke reaches the Detmold district of Berlebeck and after a few kilometers further river section Heiligenkirchen. The Wiembecke flows into this on the right-hand side. This 12 km long tributary is significantly longer at its mouth in the Berlebecke than the Berlebecke including the Wiggenbach. A little further north, the Silberbach flows into the Berlebecke on the left. From the upper mill on the southern outskirts of Detmold, the course of the river is called the Knochenbach.
