Paltrockmühle Asel on the German Milling Day 2008

The Paltrockmühle was originally built in 1850 as a post mill near Schöppenstedt . In 1894 it was sold for 6,000 marks and rebuilt in Asel. At the same time it was converted into a Paltrockmühle. The mill was operated as a grain mill. After various changes of ownership, the mill was shut down in 1969 and became very dilapidated in the following years. Just one year after the establishment of the Asel e. V. in 1992 the mill was able to be restored to a functional condition.
