Haltern am See - Sythener Mühle 07
The water mill Sythen in Haltern-Sythen belonged earlier to the possession of the bishop of Münster. In 1331 Dülmener Burgmann Wessel von Lembeck with wife Elisabeth and their children Wessel, Adolf and Hillegund exchanged several courts for the house Sieten (today castle Sythen) together with mill. The family belongs to the nobility gender of the counts of Westerholt whose successors, Carl Otto (Carlo) are a count from and to Westerholt and Gysenberg, even today owner of the mill.
The waterwheel is fed by a pent-up arm of the Halterner mill brook and drives, in the meantime, a small hydroelectric power plant. With 1600 litres of water per hour it delivers 23 kW which are fed into the public stream net.
In the 1980s the town Haltern leased the former grain and oil mill. The home association Sythen and the local hinge association they developed with the help of the Sythener citizens and financial support through town and count to a meeting place.
Every Thursday afternoon it is opened by the mill women of the club devoted to the maintenance of local regional traditions as a café. Besides she serves by the Heidetag or German mill day programme and becomes the care of customs and traditions like Nicholas's move and Panhasessen (scrapple), as well as the Plattdeutsch language play at the theatre and as a test space of bands used.
