Welsche Mühle, Watermill in Haaren, Germany

The Welsche Mühle features an overshot water wheel and two milling machines specifically designed for processing rye and wheat grains.

First documented in 1424 as the mill of Oberhaaren, the structure received its current name in 1780 from owner N.C. Charlier, who came from French-speaking territory.

The mill building now functions as a venue for local gatherings, celebrations, and wedding ceremonies conducted by the Aachen registry office.

The facility includes a kitchen on the ground floor, restrooms on the first floor, and can accommodate up to 90 people for various events.

Located in the Haarbachtal recreational area, this mill remains the only operational watermill in the Aachen region.
