Müllroser Mühle, Watermill in Müllrose, Germany

Müllroser Mühle is a watermill on the shores of Müllroser Lake that has processed grain since its founding. The building combines traditional water-powered machinery with industrial equipment added later for flour production.

The mill was first documented in 1275, making it the oldest recorded mill in the Schlaubetal. From 1647 the Többicke family held it for over a century and added a cutting mill in 1691. Adolph Schmidt bought it in 1839 and turned the small watermill into an industrial mill; a 20 hp steam mill followed in 1865.

The mill became a center of technical learning in the 1800s, drawing specialists interested in observing its advanced grain processing methods. Today visitors can see how this craft combines traditional waterpower with industrial techniques.

The site sits directly on the lake shore, making it easy to reach on foot or by bicycle from town. Access to the exterior and surrounding grounds is open, allowing views of the building and waterpower setup from multiple angles.

At the 1873 Vienna World's Fair the mill won a gold medal. In 1885 it split milling into separate rye and wheat lines, a technique so new that American experts travelled to Müllrose to study it, and Minneapolis mill directors came after the 1887 installation of a 300 hp steam engine.
