The watermill on the Goldbach stream is demonstrably the oldest mill in Hagen a.T.W. It was first documented in 1273. In that year, Gerhard and Agnes "de Gelenbeke" gifted an annual rent from the mill to the monastery in Iburg. The mill belongs to the Meyer zu Gellenbeck farm. Where the residential building now stands, there used to be an oil mill, a beet mill, and a flax mill. The oil mill was still operating during the First World War. The Gellenbeck Mill is actually a double mill: behind the weir of the millpond, on either side of the Goldbach stream, are two mill buildings. The building on the left bank is used as a residence, while the building on the right bank, after extensive restoration work by the Association for the Preservation of the Gellenbeck Mill, is once again used as a grain mill (powered by a turbine) for occasional demonstration milling. A waterwheel has been reattached to the residential building, intended for use in generating electricity.

What you assume here regarding the route of the Hermannsweg is quite harsh. The normal route takes a detour from the ridge over the terrace - ok, apparently someone with a commercial interest had influence here. Thanks to Corona, this route is now closed. The path then doesn't stay at the top of the ridge, but instead leads past the tavern all the way down into the valley and up again. For me, this is hard to beat in terms of greed for profit and disrespect for the hikers and should actually lead to a boycott of the pub until they learn it.
