Untermühle

Untermühle is a stone watermill in Horbach with traditional features typical of historical mills in this region. The building displays the classic design with water access and mechanical components that once processed grain and other agricultural goods.

This mill was built to process grain for the local population using the power of flowing water. The operation continued across many generations until food processing methods fundamentally changed.

The mill shows how water power shaped daily work and remains a landmark in the Horbach area. Visitors can see how closely the operation was tied to the river's flow.

The best way to visit the mill is to travel by local public transportation to the Horbach district. The site is accessible from most approaches, and it is worth taking time to walk around the building.

The mill still retains its original mechanical systems that demonstrate how engineering was applied in earlier times. Visitors can see on the preserved gears and levers how water power drove the entire operation.
