Pertiller Mill
Highlight • Historical Site
This mill was built in 1711. It was until about 1963 in operation.
With a horse team, the grain was brought to the mill. Milled was rye and wheat for personal use (about 15 people were to supply), oats were cut to cattle feed. The mill room was equipped with a table, chest bed and oven.
The water was directed with a gutter from the so-called children's pool on the oberschlächtige water wheel, which required little water.
In autumn and winter rye and wheat flour were ground in stock.

Eder Mill
Highlight • Structure
The ridge tree reveals that the Gmachlmühle was built in 1742. It was in operation until around 1955. The so-called mill chamber was equipped with, among other things, a table, bed and oven.
The grain was brought to the mill with a team of oxen over the Wieselberg. Rye and wheat were mostly ground for baking bread. Oats were broken for livestock feed.
It could only be ground if there was enough water. The farmer often spent the night there because it took 6-8 grinding processes to grind rye into rye flour and this took up to 24 hours.

Schroffenau Mill
Highlight • Monument
The mill (square block with pitched roof) was built about 1540 and was in operation until about 1954.
The delivery of the grain with the ox team was very difficult on the narrow way. The grain had to be carried the last piece. During the war, the farmer's wife ground. Since the allocation of water (gutters) for a woman was very tedious, constructed a neighbor a turbine with generator, which unfortunately did not work. So the mill wheel was still driven by water.
In the cozy Mühlkammerl, millet dumplings were served to the delight of the children.
