Eulschirbenmühle, Cultural heritage mill in Gamburg, Germany
The Eulschirbenmühle sits along the Tauber River and displays Renaissance style through decorative gables and a central stair tower. The building operates a water turbine system for electricity generation, blending historical architecture with modern energy technology.
The structure was built between 1592 and 1595 following centuries under church administration. Ownership then passed to the Rosenberg family and later to the Lords of Gamburg.
The interior walls display detailed stucco work and family coats of arms that reflect the artistic tastes of the mill's former owners. These decorative elements reveal how prosperity in the milling trade was expressed through local craftsmanship.
The mill sits directly on the Tauber and is easily reached from Werbach. Visitors should note that the mill remains operational, so access may be limited at times.
A flood mark from 1595 remains visible on the facade, showing the river's power in earlier times. The adjacent Tauber weir features in local stories about water forces and natural power.
