Grain mill

The hydro-powered grain mill in the Nahmertal was first mentioned in writing in 1593. It was probably built a few years earlier. It was a sovereign ban mill in County Mark . With the change of rule from the Dukes of Kleve , it came to Kurbrandenburg and later to the Kingdom of Prussia . Around 1700 about 800 farmers had their grain ground in the mill. Due to the poor agricultural conditions in the area, the mill's yield remained low.

The mill was operated by water power. For this purpose, a stream was dammed up above, which drove two mill wheels. The sovereigns gave the mill to tenants. For a long time the tenant families changed often. In 1765 the mill to the family Brenscheid was in perpetual lease passed. This managed the mill until 1839, when the mill became private property. It was sold to Johann Diedrich vom Hagen. At the beginning of the 19th century a bakery was built at the mill. It is still owned by this family. The remote mill produced less and less income and was closed in 1952. In the following years the facility and building fell into disrepair. It has been restored since 1975. A new mill wheel was installed and the necessary systems were taken over and installed from a bakery that was no longer in operation. Bread has been baked in the mill since 1984.

The mill is a two-story building with a gable roof . In the older half-timbered part were the two mill wheels. A second part made of quarry stone, added later, served as a bakery. The actual bakery with the oven was added to the gable end . This is operated from inside the mill building. The mill is now a listed building.

Oil mill

Brenscheider oil mill

The neighboring oil mill at the confluence of the Brenscheider Bach in the Nahmer was built in 1845 by Johann Dietrich von Hagen. This produced oil from rapeseed . The mill is single-story and made of quarry stone masonry. Due to the growing competition for industrially produced oil, it was shut down at the beginning of the 20th century, restarted during the First World War and finally closed in 1923. As a result, the building began to deteriorate. In the 1950s, the first renovations were carried out on a private initiative. The mill became the property of the Altena district in 1958 . It has been a listed building since 1982. As a result, it was renovated by the municipality of Nachrodt-Wiblingwerde and the Märkischer Kreis .

There is a restaurant next to the grain mill. There are several themed hiking trails around the mill ensemble.
