Architecture and history

The location of the mill has been documented as the location of a mill since the Middle Ages . The current mill dates back to 1718 when it was built as a grain mill. From this time a two-storey, half-timbered mill building has been preserved, into which a living area is also integrated. The mill wheel is medium-sized and there is also a channel . A younger mill building was built around 1800.

In 1848 two- and three-storey half-timbered stores were built. At the same time, a residential building reminiscent of a villa was built in a classical style for the owner of the mill . In 1878 Carl Kratzenstein (1825–1879), who already owned other Quedlinburg mills, took over the Neue Mühle. Another half-timbered granary was added. A major expansion then took place in 1905 with the construction of a new six-story mill, which was designed in the Art Nouveau style. In addition, a silo made of bricks and a machine house arranged above the mill ditch were built . The preserved industrial chimney was also created in this context. The plant received a modern water turbine, steam power and automatic roller mills.

From 1905, production was expanded to include the production of bricks and roof tiles. For this purpose, a two-storey, plastered office and management building was built. A long hall with a Hoffmann ring furnace was built in the eastern part of the company premises . Two drying sheds built in the 1930s are noteworthy.

While the mill was stopped in the period between the world wars, the brick factory was initially continued. In 1945 a renovation took place.

Currently (as of 2014) parts of the facility are empty and urgently need renovation.
