The historic Lübs motor mill, built around the turn of the century, has been lovingly restored and now serves as a museum and show workshop. Discover the history of technology and experience the journey from grain to bread.
The Lübs motor mill was built at the turn of the century after the old windmill burned down and was the first motor mill of its kind in the region. It quickly developed into an important economic center of the village. The ensemble of buildings includes the miller's house, which is over 100 years old, the actual motor mill and several outbuildings that were added in the 1980s. During the Second World War, the mill was badly damaged when tank shells hit the façade. Despite this damage, the mill remained in operation until the fall of communism and was rebuilt several times to meet the needs of the respective operators.
After the end of its use by the LPG animal production, the building stood empty and deteriorated rapidly. In 2004, however, the municipality of Lübs decided to save the mill and convert it into a museum with a show workshop. Thanks to funding from the EU Community Initiative LEADER+, reconstruction work began in 2005. The machines and the historic transmission technology were repaired and can now be partially demonstrated. A wood-fired oven was also built on the farm, in which bread is baked on special occasions.
Today, the mill is a lively cultural center in the village. Visitors can learn all about the journey from grain to bread, the history of the technology and the history of Lübs. Since 2024, there has been a regular monthly Mill Friday, when the village community comes together for a leisurely afternoon. The mill also offers a unique backdrop for events such as weddings and family celebrations in a historic setting. The municipality of Lübs is actively involved in the mill
