    Municipal Mill

    Ratsmühle

    This listed building has been around since 1384 and is on the river Böhme and was owned by the city until 1817 which is why it was known as the Ratsmühle. The mill was eventually shut down in 1963 and has been empty ever since; however, they wish to turn it into a museum.
