Gattenhöfer mill

The Gattenhöfer mill was the oldest of the Oberursel mills, built before 1450 by order of Eberhard von Eppstein , although a mill is mentioned as early as 1351 . She operated the town's first copper hammer at the end of the 15th century . Before that it was already a fulling mill and paper mill , and until the 19th century it was also a grinding mill . The mill was destroyed in the Thirty Years War , but then rebuilt. The last operator, Bostik GmbH , a manufacturer of adhesives and sealing compounds , closed the plant in 1993, and the site has been largely fallow ever since . Office buildings, a hotel and a kindergarten were built on parts of the site.
