The "Wittenberge Oil Mill" is a listed building in the town of Wittenberge on the Elbe. The building complex, consisting of the administration building, the mill's main body, workshops and storage facilities, was built in the middle of the 19th century to produce crude oil. Oil production was abandoned following German reunification in 1991. A company then took over the use of the buildings and set up the "Zur Alten Ölmühle" hotel in them. A restaurant and a brewery are attached. Delicious beer and great service!
