The Vierradenmühle is an important testimony to the history of the city of Görlitz and was probably built around 1200. It owes its name to four undershot water wheels, which have been rebuilt several times over the centuries - most recently in 1929/30, when the mill was converted into a hydroelectric power station.

Today it houses a restaurant. You can find the opening times and further information here: vierradenmuehle-goerlitz.rgio.de.

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 back to times long past. Thanks to such a construction, a watercourse - natural or artificial - could simply replace human or animal muscle power with the power of the natural elements, for example to grind grain into corn or to press oil from fruit.

There are essentially two different ways of driving watermills:
* Either the flowing water simply hits the blades of the water wheel from below to set it in motion; or
* the water is guided above the wheel - usually through a so-called "mill channel" - and falls onto the blades; this type of construction is more efficient due to natural gravity.

In the Vierradenmühle there is a restaurant and a turbine for generating electricity using hydropower.
