    This old abandoned oil mill was then powered by the Beke.

      Traditional oil mills were originally water mills in the German-speaking area. They consisted of a pestle, a roaster and a so-called wedge press. The process of extracting oil has been referred to as oil striking. The oil miller was often called an oil beater.
