The Helpensteiner Bach flows through the Rödgener Burgweiher, also called Rakyweiher, on its way and supplied the Rödgener Mühle with water through an overshot mill wheel until 1899.

history
The history of the Dalheimer Mühle begins with a sales deed from 1231. In it, Heinrich Herr zu Helpenstein sells the mill, the pond and some of the land to the Cistercians in Ophoven . The mill forms the basis for the relocation of the monastery to Dalheim, which took place in 1258. The present mill building was rebuilt after a fire in 1775. The mill had a milling operation and oil press . With the abolition of the monastery in 1802 by the French government, the mill came into private hands. Around 1880 a restaurant was added to the mill building. In 1974 the mill was equipped with a new mill wheel. Milling was stopped in 1958. In 1998 the Dalheimer mill was almost completely destroyed by a fire. After eight years of construction, the Dalheimer Mühle was reopened in July 2008.
