Wipperkotten, Historic grinding workshop at Wupper River, Germany
The Wipperkotten workshop stands at the meeting point of Weinsberger Bach and Wupper River, featuring wooden polishing disks and traditional grindstones.
Built around 1600, the Wipperkotten represents the final remaining double grinding mill from 26 similar structures that operated along the lower Wupper River.
The outer workshop continues its grinding operations through local craftsmen while the inner workshop, accessible by bridge, houses a collection of regional tools.
The facility opens on first and third Sundays from April through October, with guided tours available Monday through Saturday at 25 euros per group.
The workshop maintains its original water-powered machinery system, allowing visitors to witness traditional metal grinding techniques in their authentic setting.
