Surrounded by meadows and woods the Watermill is located at the edge of the town of Hanshagen near Greifswald. It was established as a flour mill in 1524, continued being a paper mill from 1750 and changed back into a flour mill around 1850. It is regarded as the only German paper mill north of Berlin and the last Western Pomeranian Watermill. Besides the flour mill the millers also run a restaurant and a dance hall. From 2010 to 2012 this historical concept was revived with the successful renovation of the Watermill and with a lot of attention to detail. (Picture 1)
The Watermill can be visited as a technical and historico-cultural memorial of a flour mill. The restaurant ‘Zur Wassermühle’ as well as 6 hotel rooms furnished in country style is situated in the residential building. The ballroom equipped with modern ventilation, lighting and communication technology is attached. This is why the Watermill Hanshagen is an excellent place to arrange wedding and jubilee parties, conventions and other events. (Pictures 2,3,4)
