The Lochmühle in Gemünden in the Hessian Hochtaunuskreis is a former water mill and is a listed building .

The Lochmühle was founded in 1699. The name is derived from the holey trees that marked the border between the Lauken and Hundstädter Waldmark . In 1733, the justice of the then shut down Gemündener Dorfmühle was transferred to the Lochmühle. In 1846 it is described as a mill in the district of Usingen with 11 inhabitants.

The mill property is halfway between Gemünden and the Weiltal in the "In der Lochwiese" district between the Laubach , which drove the mill, and the 739 district road. There are several plastered half-timbered buildings on high, solid foundation walls. The grinder from the 19th century is preserved and functional. The mill moat has also been preserved.

The Etzauer Mühle is located further downstream .
