Tips from the Community
This water wheel was restored in 2011. Because the water hits the paddles in the lower third and then pushes them up, this type of water wheel is called "undershot".

There are two of these waterwheels in Bad Kreuznach's Salinental valley. The two waterwheels, with over 100 blades, drive rods, and pumps, are used, as in ancient times, to transport brine to a height of nine meters at the top of the drive. From there, the saline mineral water trickles down the blackthorn hedges, creating a fresh salt breeze.

Yes, powerful, even to the point of being ruthless. But that was precisely the birth defect of Bismarck's system. He lacked democratic control of the military. Thus, in the First World War, there was no one who could end it before total defeat. A small clique in Kreuznach was able to hatch increasingly over-the-top plans and drive everyone into the abyss: https://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kreuznacher_Kriegszielkonferenz Only after the second catastrophe did they come to their senses. The Franco-German friendship was sealed, also in Bad Kreuznach https://www.komoot.com/de-de/highlight/5474571
