Lübs Motor Mill
The historic Lübs Motor Mill, built at the turn of the century, has been lovingly restored and now serves as a museum and demonstration workshop.
Discover the history of technology and experience the journey from grain to bread. The Lübs motor mill was built around the turn of the century following a fire at the old windmill and was the first motor mill of its kind in the region. It quickly developed into an important economic hub for the village. The complex includes the over 100-year-old miller’s house, the motor mill itself, and several outbuildings added in the 1980s. During World War II, the mill was severely damaged when tank shells struck the facade. Despite this damage, the mill remained in operation until the fall of the Berlin Wall and was renovated several times to meet the needs of its respective operators. After the LPG Tierproduktion ceased using the building, it stood empty and fell into disrepair. In 2004, however, the municipality of Lübs decided to save the mill and convert it into a museum with a demonstration workshop. Thanks to funding from the EU’s LEADER+ Community Initiative, reconstruction work began in 2005. The machinery and the historic transmission technology were restored and can now be partially demonstrated. A wood-fired oven was also built in the courtyard, where bread is baked on special occasions. Today, the mill is a vibrant cultural center for the village. Here, visitors learn all about the journey from grain to bread, the history of technology, and the history of Lübs. Since 2024, “Mill Friday” has been held regularly once a month, when the village community gathers for a cozy afternoon. In addition, the mill offers a unique setting for events such as weddings and family celebrations in a historic atmosphere. The Lübs community is actively involved in the mill

From Ruin to Living Museum – Restoration of the Lübs Mill
After the fall of the Berlin Wall, the mill stood empty for a long time and fell into visible disrepair. In 2004, the municipality of Lübs decided to save the building and revitalize it as a museum with a demonstration workshop. With support from EU funding through the LEADER+ Community Initiative, the historic machinery and transmission technology were restored starting in 2005. Today, some of these machines can be seen in operation. A wood-fired oven was also built on the mill grounds, where bread is baked on special occasions.
Mill Friday and Events – Cultural Life in Lübs
Since 2024, the community has hosted Mill Friday once a month—a cozy afternoon where the village community comes together.
