On the Weser lies Germany's only functional ship mill. It was reconstructed according to plans and records from the 18th century. The first documented mention of Minden ship mills dates back to the year 1326, when the city leased six berths for ship mills on the Weser. This makes Minden one of the oldest ship mill locations in Germany.
The ship mill is open daily from April to October, except on Mondays. In summer, throughout the week, the club's own ship mill pavilion with a beer garden naturally also caters to the physical well-being of the guests.
