Detailed description

-The oldest mill of its kind in the Rhineland, it received its first concession from Kurköln in 1676, but was destroyed by flooding four years later.
-1680 destroyed by flood of the Wied.
-It was rebuilt around 1700 and was used for oil production until 1948.
-In 1976 it was comprehensively restored and opened for inspection by the Verkehrsverein Waldbreitbach in cooperation with the "Bräpe Jonge", other Waldbreitbacher associations and honorary helpers.
-The oak engine of the Kollergang dates back to 1700 when it was rebuilt.
It was in operation until 1948 and produced oils from linseed, rape, beechnuts and poppy seeds.

In the oil mill, the oil miller Jacob Scheid produced oil from rapeseed and linseed until about 1925. Then the mill was at rest for almost 20 years. After the war, Jacob Scheid used beechnuts to make edible oil in a time of great need. In close proximity to the oil mill is the Scheid grain mill, which has been mentioned since 1646.
