Klingenmühle, Historic watermill in Welzheim, Germany.

The Klingenmühle stands in a deep gorge along the upper Wieslauf river, featuring its original milling building and waterwheel structure.

First documented in 1726, the Klingenmühle operated as both a grinding and sawmill, with records showing plans for expansion and renovations throughout the 1860s.

Physician and poet Justinus Kerner visited this location frequently between 1812 and 1815, creating literary works inspired by the mill's setting.

The mill houses an artist café that offers meals and refreshments for hikers during summer months, with homemade products available through online ordering.

In 1923, the site incorporated a 65-horsepower Voith-Francis spiral turbine above the gorge to supply electricity to a nearby galvanizing facility.
