Hambacher Mühle

Hambacher Mühle is a grain mill positioned at the base of the Haardt mountains with a focus on rye milling operations. The facility processes 90 to 100 tons of grain daily using contemporary milling techniques.

The mill was founded in 1917 by a farmers and winegrowers cooperative, initially powered by a water wheel driven by the Pfuhlwiesengraben stream. A significant fire in 1973 prompted reconstruction and transformation into a specialized rye milling operation.

The mill connects local farming communities with modern grain processing and shows how traditional crafts remain part of the working landscape today. You can observe how agriculture and food production are still deeply rooted in this wine region.

The mill is located about 3 kilometers south of Neustadt's downtown area and can be reached via the A65 highway and B39 federal road. Its position along major routes makes it easily accessible for visitors and delivery vehicles.

After the 1973 fire, the mill was rebuilt under the management of Werner Gutting and became a facility exclusively dedicated to rye processing. This specialization makes it unusual among mills that typically handle multiple grain types.
