Schwalheimer Wasserrad, Historical water wheel in Bad Nauheim, Germany.
The Schwalheimer water wheel measures nearly 10 meters in diameter and operates a 170-meter-long wooden mechanism along the Wetter River.
Built between 1745 and 1748, the water wheel powered a pump station that transported saline water to salt production facilities in Nauheim.
The water wheel represents the industrial heritage of Bad Nauheim and appears in the official coat of arms of Schwalheim district.
The water wheel site includes a playground and connects to multiple cycling routes, making it suitable for both family visits and outdoor activities.
The wheel maintains its original roller system designed by Carl Anton Henschel in 1826, demonstrating early industrial engineering methods.
