The Birschel mill was a grain mill on the Ruhr in Hattingen . It was laid out in 1880 by the Birschel family on the grounds of Haus Kliff . Today there is a service housing complex and a restaurant .

The associated hydropower plant has been reactivated in recent years. The on-site water turbine has been replaced as part of the renovation work and feeds green electricity into the power grid.

The Hattinger Ruhrschleuse next to the mill was built in 1774, rebuilt in 1819/20 and is still operational today if the Ruhr does not have low water. In 1989 the wooden gates were renewed.
