The Waldmühle (also: Walkmühle ) is a building in Darmstadt-Eberstadt . Since 1979, the Evangelical Association for Inner Mission Frankfurt am Main has been running an inpatient withdrawal facility (rehabilitation clinic) for 26 addicts, mostly drug addicts from Hesse. It became the namesake and largest institution of the Waldmühle Foundation, which has been looking after nine individual service areas for 160 addicts since 1981. For architectural, industrial and urban history reasons, the building is a cultural monument .
