Dornmühle, Cultural heritage monument in Fränkisch-Crumbach, Germany

The Dornmühle features stone masonry walls on the ground floor and remnants of half-timbered construction, including visible window niches and a vaulted cellar.

The water-powered gristmill operated from 1475 until 1952, hosting 35 different tenants throughout its existence before burning down between 1962 and 1968.

The mill represents traditional agricultural practices in the Gersprenz Valley, where at least 17 mills once processed grain for local communities.

Located along the Wassererlebnisband Gersprenz cycling path, the ruins provide a stopping point for visitors exploring the Odenwaldkreis region.

The mill participated in significant legal disputes in 1686 regarding bridge maintenance and later faced challenges after the 1818 abolition of milling obligations.
