Below the waterfall in Saarburg, the water wheels of the Hackenberger Mill from the 13th/14th century are turning. Originally, there was an oil mill, a fulling mill, and a grain mill operating here. Grain was ground here until 1974. In the basement of the mill, visitors can see the many gears that are connected to the grinding stone on the upper floor by a leather belt. In the upper rooms, various grinding devices and other equipment can be seen, gradually producing finer flour from the ground grains. Film screening: "From Grain to Flour".
Digital Offers:
- With the audio tour (in German), guests can learn more about the Hackenberger Mill and the work of the miller.
- Electronic functional model that depicts the water's journey until the grain is ground
