Duck Mill (Homburg)
The Entenmühle or Duck mill was one of four mills in the urban area of the district town of Homburg . It was driven by the Erbach . From the Mühlensee "Entenweiher" located above, only an extremely small area of water exists today; most of it has been filled in and built over over the past three decades. A short section of the federal highway 423 with the name "Entenweiherstraße" still reminds of it. The other mills were the Leysersmühle, Bendermühle and the Stadtmühle. Today the duck mill is named for the street that passes there and a group of houses.
The mill already existed at the beginning of the 18th century. It had two water wheels for two grinding cycles and one peeling cycle.
Attempts to use it elsewhere, for example as a music school, failed. The building was never registered as a monument and was demolished in 2012.
