Neue Mühle and its collection

Neue Mühle
Source

The Neue Mühle is a technical museum located at the Schlösserbrücke in Erfurt, the capital of Thuringia. The museum is situated on a tributary of the small river Gera, which powers the mill's hydroelectric plant. This unique location not only provides a picturesque setting but also demonstrates the historical use of water power in the region.

Historical Significance of Neue Mühle

The Neue Mühle museum houses a grain mill with an undershot Zuppinger water wheel, making it the last functional mill of the 60 that once existed in the city. The mill has been known as the "Neue Mühle" or "New Mill" since it was rebuilt after a fire in 1735. This historical significance adds to the museum's appeal for visitors interested in the city's industrial past.

Exhibits at Neue Mühle

The Neue Mühle museum offers a unique insight into the workings of a traditional mill. Visitors can observe the preserved material flow across all floors via a belt bucket elevator. The museum also displays a grinding gear, historical roller mills, several plan sifters, and a mill brake elevator. These exhibits provide a comprehensive overview of the milling process and the technology used in the past.
