Rahmer-Mühle

Rahmer-Mühle is a two-story structure with five window axes, distinguished by Rococo cartouches featuring lion motifs on its facade. The building utilized water from the Schozach river and includes a canal system with bridges and a weir.

The building was constructed in 1774 with a mansard roof and Rococo elements as a production facility for the local economy. Following severe wartime damage, it was reconstructed in 1949 and now stands as a testament to industrial architecture.

The mill displays coat of arms stones and Rococo ornaments with lion motifs on its facade, reflecting the craftsmanship and prosperity of an earlier era. These carved details still remind visitors today of the importance such buildings held for local communities.

Visiting works best during daytime to see the facade details and canal system clearly. The building is located in the Sontheim district of Heilbronn and is visible from the street.

The gable displays original Rococo cartouches with initials F.R. for builder Friedrich Rahmer and a mill wheel symbol that survived reconstruction. These personal marks of the craftsman remain visible after the building's restoration.
