Bachmühle

The Bachmühle sits along the Glems River and features a 540-meter mill canal that carries water to power modern turbines. The structure combines visible mill buildings with contemporary equipment for generating electricity.

A mill in Unterriexingen appears in records from 1280, with Bachmühle itself first mentioned in documents from 1379. This early reference shows the long history of using water power at this location.

The mill represents how water power shaped daily work and community life for generations, remaining a symbol of this regional heritage. Visitors can see how such places connected people to nature and to each other through shared labor.

The site sits at the end of the Glemsmühlenweg walking trail, where you can see the remaining mill structures and read information boards about water power. The grounds are accessible on foot and offer clear views of the installation.

An Ossberger turbine installed in 1971 still powers electricity generation today, showing how traditional mills adapted to modern times. This equipment preserves the site's original purpose while using entirely new technology.
