A mill has existed here since 1786, and a license to produce paper was granted in 1798. In 1855, the Bagel family took over the paper factory and ran it until 1984.

Today, various businesses, practices, galleries and studios have moved in here. The many sculptures on the secluded site are particularly interesting.

If you pass the Anger an der Auermühle on your way, you can also visit the site of the former Bagel paper mill.
In addition to a small park, there are various company settlements as well as artist studios and a kindergarten.
The "Galerie des Wahnsinns", where you can buy various pieces of furniture and other things from distant countries, could also be interesting ...
