An authentic reconstruction of the last productive Rhine ship mill offers interesting and fascinating insights into the technology and working conditions of bygone times. Unfortunately, it can only be visited by appointment by phone or through the tourist information office.

In Ginsheim, ship mills were anchored in the Rhine for several centuries, and milling was a veritable industry.

According to the information board, up to 21 ship mills used to be in operation off Ginsheim. This replica houses a museum with an entrance fee of € 4 for adults, which brings this time back to life. The ship's mill with the eye-catching paddle wheel and the access walkway is also impressive from the outside.
