The three-wheel mill was one of three large flour mills in the city of Görlitz , but also served the tanners as a fulling mill . The parts of the building that still exist have belonged to the Polish city of Zgorzelec since the eastern Neisse region was separated off after the Second World War .
Surname
The name of the mill came from the mill drive. This happened via three water wheels (wheels) that were driven by the water dammed up at the weir.
location
The three-wheel mill was a water mill on today's German-Polish border river - the Lusatian Neisse . It is located on the east bank below the Töpferberg of the former Görlitzer Ostvorstadt. Opposite it on the German bank is the four-wheel mill . The Neisse weir between the three-wheel and four-wheel mills, over which the Neisse flows today, used to hold the water of the river for the two mills.
history

In 1273 the mill is mentioned for the first time in the spa book of Scultetus. In this book it is mentioned that Seyfried and Walter zu Görlitz handed over the "Mill for the Tricycles" to the Hospital of the Holy Spirit . This is why the name Spitalmühle, but also Kleppelsmühle, appears in older city chronicles. The hospital probably gave out long leases to individuals very early on. Among the number of well-known early owners are shareholders in the Vierwadenmühle, such as For example: Hans Hayn and Claus Heller around 1400. In 1595 the hospital sold the so-called "old mill room", a corner of the mill, to the white tanners. The tanners had been tenants since 1570. The tanners were to operate their mill and factory here until 1914. Since 1820 a cloth factory has been attached to the mill. On October 12, 1826, the merchant and senator Karl Gottlob Bauer acquired the mill. His two daughters as heiresses and their respective husbands now owned the three-wheel mill and the noodle factory to the north.
The mill was often rebuilt or rebuilt, among other things, the siege in 1641, which caused great damage, and the numerous floods. For example, the flood in 1562 tore down the mill. In 1583 a completely new building took place. The flood of August 1, 1595 also badly destroyed the mill, so that it had to be rebuilt in the same year. The last severe destruction of the mill was during the fire on 18./19. May 1925. It burned down completely, the then owner Paul Welzel had it rebuilt.
In 1938 a grain silo was built next to the mill on the old town bridge. The 34 m high, tower-like building has been preserved to this day and is one of the landmarks of the town of Zgorzelec. A large part of the former mill buildings north of the granary are no longer preserved today.
today
Since 1998, the western and southern sides of the granary have been decorated with a mosaic face (WAZE) by the artists Vahan Bego and Michał Bulak . It was a Euroopera project . To the east of the granary, in the mill building on Wrocławska Street, there is a restaurant with a terrace in the inner courtyard of the mill and on the Neisse. The Dreiradenspeicher can be climbed irregularly, from which one has a good view towards the old town of Görlitz . In 2012 the buildings on ulica Wrocławska and the northern extension to the former grain silo were renovated.
