Obere Mühle, Historic watermill in Deidesheim, Germany.
The Obere Mühle stands in the Mußbach valley, positioned at the eastern border of the Pfälzerwald mountain range in Rhineland-Palatinate.
Established in 1711 as a grinding mill, the structure later transformed into a sawmill in 1799 and subsequently became a crest forge after 1858.
The name Eselsmühle reflects the local practice of using donkeys to transport grain across Stabenberg slopes, avoiding customs duties in the 18th century.
Visitors can explore the former mill site while hiking along the marked Mußbach trail, which connects several historical mill locations in the region.
Peter Koch, born at this mill in 1874, later became an accomplished painter, mayor, and received honorary citizenship of neighboring Gimmeldingen.
