Paper Mill Homburg

The Paper Mill Homburg features a two-story half-timbered structure with a three-pitched roof and stone extension from the nineteenth century.

Leonhard Leinziger established the paper mill in 1807 near Bischbach river after relocating from Windheim due to water supply limitations.

The museum exhibits demonstrate traditional papermaking methods using linen, hemp, and cotton rags, along with displays of historical machinery and worker living quarters.

The museum opens from May through October, offering guided tours, papermaking workshops, and special demonstrations on the first Sunday of each month.

Johannes Follmer, a fifth-generation paper maker, continues producing handmade paper using original equipment including the waterwheel and wooden press.
