Würmmühle, Historic watermill in Dachau, Germany
Würmmühle is a functioning grain mill at the confluence where the Würm River flows into the Amper. The facility processes various grain types into flour and operates a shop selling rye, spelt, and wheat flour along with muesli and other grain-based products.
The mill is first documented in the 10th century in records by the Bishop of Freising. It stood at a crucial crossing point where millers helped guide travelers across the ford where the two rivers met.
The mill demonstrates traditional grain processing methods that visitors can observe in the workshop. The craft remains active today, showing how farmers and locals have sourced their flour for generations.
The mill shop offers a clear selection of products that are easy to find and purchase. The location sits along the rivers, so visitors should be mindful of waterside paths and terrain.
A small chapel from the 17th century stands near the mill, recalling the site's Roman past. This location once housed Ambra, a waystation in the Roman province of Raetia.
