Eitzmühle and Oste Café

A great place to take a break! There are super delicious cakes and pies! :)

Historic watermill with Oste Café, located directly on the Oste riverThe watermill at the Eitzte farm on the Oberoste, near Selsingen, was mentioned in written records as early as 1300. However, it was located further towards Rockstedt and belonged to the Count of Hoya. There was no other mill in Selsingen and the surrounding area at the time.From 1856 onwards, the location changed and the mill belonged to the miller Hinrich Burfeind of Eitzmühlen. In 1862, the Eitzmühle became the property of the Stade wood and grain merchant Jürgen Hinrich Hagenah, who leased it to miller Meisterknecht. Two years later, Hagenah had the mill thoroughly renovated and doubled in size. The energy generated by the water was transferred to the sawmill opposite via a transmission.On April 1, 1941, the water mill in Eitzmühlen was so badly damaged by ice that it was no longer functional. The dam was also no longer there.
