Müllers Mühle, Grain silo facility in Schalke, Gelsenkirchen, Germany.

Müllers Mühle is a grain silo facility in Schalke next to the Rhine-Herne Canal with three storage chambers. The structure serves as both a storage center and a processing plant for grain and related food products.

The silo was built in 1949 from hull sections of Type XXI submarines that had been stored at the neighbouring Orange boiler factory, which had produced them during the war. Müller's Mühle needed storage capacity to rebuild its milling operations after the war damage, and the surplus steel hulls were reused as grain and rice silos. For decades it was the tallest structure on the mill site.

The silo belongs to Müller's Mühle, founded in 1893 by Adolf Müller senior as a trading agency for rice and legumes; a husking mill followed five years later. In the 1920s the firm sold rice and pulses as branded goods with uniform standards and prices, and the nickname Erbsen-Müller (Pea Müller) survives from that era. The plant has stood by the Rhein-Herne Canal since 1913.

The silo stands on the company grounds of Müller's Mühle at Am Stadthafen 42 in Schalke-Nord, directly on the mill's own quay on the Gelsenkirchen city harbour. It is an operating industrial site, not a visitor attraction, so the structure can be viewed from the public street and the harbour side rather than entered. The three rice chambers hold around 2000 tonnes in total.

The silo's steel came from Type XXI submarine hull sections that had been stored at the neighbouring Orange boiler factory, which produced them during the war. The mill reused them in 1949 to replace silo capacity lost in the air raids, and for decades the silo was the tallest structure on the site.
