The patronage of the Klausen pilgrimage church, “Visitation of Mary (or in another spelling: Mariä)” refers to one of the many memorial days or festivals in honor of the Mother of God Mary. The term “Visitation” – which has negative connotations in our current way of expression or thinking – refers in the Bible to Mary’s visit to her relative Elizabeth. She was married to Zacharias and the marriage remained childless, which was a social stigma at the time. But despite her advanced age, she became pregnant, which the Archangel Gabriel told Mary when he brought her the message that she herself would give birth to the Son of God, Jesus. The son of Elizabeth and Zacharias was John, nicknamed “the Baptist,” who is considered the forerunner/pioneer of Jesus Christ.

“There, where the river has lively waves, so that anyone who passes by on the road looks on with joy, there the gentle shape of the mountain rises and the vineyard rises high. The steps go down high beneath the vines, where the fruit tree stands in bloom above, and the scent lingers on the wild hedges, where the hidden violets sprout. But water trickles down, and a gentle rushing can be heard there all day long; but the places in the area rest and are silent through the afternoon.” (Friedrich Hölderlin, 1770 – 1843)

The Bruch mill is one of the oldest Salm mills. In the letter of freedom for the Bruch valley from 1284, it was already referred to as a ban mill, as it had always been. As early as 1909, the miller Molitor had supplied some private buildings in addition to his mill operation with electricity. In 1913, the municipality of Bruch concluded a contract with the mill owner to supply the village with electricity. This was transferred to RWE in 1930. The mill operation was discontinued in the mid-1950s. The mill and sawmill were converted into residential buildings. The oil mill is still completely intact in its structural structure today and was extensively renovated and repaired in 1984/85, including all of the mill technology. Already mentioned in documents in 1284, probably rebuilt in 1558, and finally shut down in 1954,

The mill wheel from 1284 is turning again after the mill operation ceased in 1954.

The mill with its edge mill and its two runner stones, heating furnace and press, and the old miller's chamber with its furnishings can be visited at any time.

During this time, the Bruch mill was divided into the following operating areas: mill, oil mill and sawmill.
