Rommelmühle

Rommelmühle is a seven-story milling structure on the Enz River in Bietigheim-Bissingen with a preserved brick exterior. The building now houses a restaurant with a beer garden and exhibition spaces that showcase the milling heritage.

The mill was documented as early as 1325 and was rebuilt after a fire in 1903 following its purchase by Karl Rommel in 1854. These events shaped the building as it stands today.

The space tells the story of milling traditions in the region and shows visitors how grain was once processed. The exhibition areas make the craft techniques and industrial past of the area tangible as you move through them.

The site operates as a restaurant with a beer garden serving Swabian cuisine in an open setting by the river. The spaces can accommodate events for up to 180 people, making it a practical venue for gatherings.

Four turbines run in the former mill channels beneath the building, feeding electricity into the power grid while using waste heat to warm the structure. This approach connects historical water power with modern energy generation.
