Stütings Mühle was used as a corn and saw mill from 1307 to 1963 and is named after the Stüting family, who took over the mill in 1813.
The mill's mill wheel was restored in 1984, the only water-powered horizontal creel in the Sauerland in 1987 and the turbine and generator were renewed and put back into operation in 1994. They generate approx. 130,000 kwh.
You can also find more information on the history of the buildings here on the website under the POI Stütings Mühle, the historical site, otherwise of course you are welcome to visit Belecke.
The Belecke town library is housed in one of these buildings, the former fruit barn. During about 20 opening hours per week, around 9,000 books, as well as 1,500 cassettes and CDs and 22 magazine subscriptions are available for borrowing and browsing.
Pupils can also find learning aids for all age groups in the so-called "pupil center" and kindergartens and schools can have entire media boxes put together on the current or interesting topic of the month.
In addition, media can be borrowed via the Belecke public library, which works together with the Soest public library.
Craft or activity days for children and lectures for children and adults are also organized on a regular basis.
So, as you can see, a visit is definitely worthwhile.
The manager of the mill is Ms. Angelika Krüger, who is supported by an energetic team.
