Radduscher Buschmühle, Historic watermill near Raddusch, Germany
The Radduscher Buschmühle is a historic structure built on sturdy oak pilings above the Leineweberfließ stream, marked by its red tile roof and traditional construction style. The building displays the craftsmanship typical of mills in this region.
The mill was built in 1777 and initially processed grain and oil using water power. By 1931, it switched to a diesel engine, ending its dependence on the river's flow.
The mill served as a gathering spot where local farmers could eat and drink while waiting for their grain to be milled. This social role made it much more than just a workspace for the community.
The site opens to visitors on special days such as German Mill Day and Ascension Day with guided tours offered. It is best to check beforehand since opening times are limited.
The building survived multiple floods between 1926 and 1956, making it one of the few smaller mill structures that remained in the region during that period. Its persistence serves as a rare record of the area's industrial past.
