Because the footbridge is raised, the vegetation underneath is preserved and the water can flow away unhindered.

The mill is located 1.5 km north of Tangstedt in the Pinneberg district on the upper reaches of the Pinnau, into which the associated large mill pond drains. The first documentary mention comes from January 24th 1382 as molen to der Wulvesborch. The mill remained in the hands of the sovereigns for centuries. The former mill complex and the outdoor facilities with mill pond have been placed under protection as a cultural monument. Delicious eating and drinking is also possible :-) Popular with cycling for the super kitchen.

The swing bridge over the Pinnau was completed in 1887. As a cultural monument, it is now a listed building and is one of the two oldest swing bridges still in operation in Germany. The bridge keeper used to crank the bridge up and down with a handwheel to turn it sideways for shipping. Today this is done by an electric motor.
