Brücker Mühle, Historic watermill in Amöneburg, Germany.
Brücker Mühle is a watermill in Amöneburg that stands where the Ohm River meets its old watercourse and operates two Francis turbines for power generation. The facility combines energy production with a natural food shop serving the local community.
The building was first recorded in 1248 as molendinum in Brucke and played a role in a battle during the Seven Years War in 1762. The site later became known as a location where important documents were signed.
The mill complex houses a natural food store where visitors find regional products, fresh produce, pressed oils, and organic ice cream in an environmentally conscious setting. The shop reflects the site's commitment to sustainable practices.
Visiting is possible on most days, though opening times vary from day to day. It helps to check the schedule ahead of time to make sure you have access during your visit.
The original building used three undershot waterwheels for power before later being converted into a water pumping station. This transformation allowed the site to supply the town with water from 1859 through the 1950s.
