Hammermühle, Gristmill in Biebrich, Germany

The Hammermühle stands near the Salzbach river at an elevation of 93 meters in the Biebrich district of Wiesbaden.

Built in 1690 following the destruction of an iron hammer mill, this structure became a center for grain processing under Bernhard May's ownership in 1807.

The mill complex served as a meeting point for intellectuals and revolutionaries, including Robert Blum, Clara Schumann, and Johannes Brahms during the 1800s.

The former mill structure now functions as residential apartments, accessible through streets named 'An der Hammermühle' and 'Bernhard-May-Straße'.

This last remaining mill in Salzbachtal supplied bread to the Nassau garrison and received visits from King Leopold I of Belgium.
