Old mill, built in 1799 and used as a grain mill until 1963. additionally since 1941 to drive a turbine. Extensively restored in 1988, it today houses the Costume Museum and Mill Museum Swabian Jura on the ground floor, and an information point for the Swabian Jura Biosphere Park. The mill wheel and the fish ladder are located in the annex. During the restoration, it was discovered that elements from other mills had been incorporated here, e.g. the mill wheel from the "Gips Mühle" on the "Große Heerstraße" and the furnishings from the former "Hayd'schen Mühle" in the "Klostergasse". The principle of the "water drive system" and the various construction principles can be nicely explained here.
