For the history of the Hümmel Mill, see kreis-ahrweiler.de/kvar/VT/hjb1987/hjb1987.39.htm

Quote: The mill's storage building, still standing in 1953, was later donated to the open-air museum in Kommern. A new waterwheel, installed above the mill, can still be powered by water from the former millpond, but it only offers a faint glimpse of the old mill idyll.

The Hümmeler mill was powered by the Armuthsbach. For three generations, until it was closed down in 1953, the mill was owned by the Weber family, most recently Egidius Weber. The year of construction cannot be determined, but it probably dates back to the 18th century. The mill had two overshot wheels.
