The Zaubermuehle at Oberkemmathen. Built in 1837 and operated as a flour mill until 1960. The mill was purchased in 1969 by the widow of architect Hurbert Muller, Ingeborg Muller. The mill is now owned by her youngest son, Wolfram Muller-Tacke.

The idyllic mill along the watery meadows formerly employed the miller, a mill hand, a groom, and two maids. In addition to a sawmill, there was also a farm with 12 cows, four ponds and woodland. An early owner was H. Wambach.

Muhlenkater (millcat) Michesch. Every miill must have its resident cat. They were historically great at keeping the mice and rat populations low.

The mill today serves as a youth hostel, retreat center, and facility for seminars and training in introspection, music, and practical conservation projects.
