Wippermühle

The Wippermühle was a watermill in the historic landscape of Vorsfelder Werder in the North German state of Lower Saxony. It was first mentioned in the records in 1366 and was finally closed in 1936. It was driven by the Wipperaller stream which drained the old pond known as the Wipperteich. Today the old mill lies within the city of Wolfsburg immediately on its boundary with the municipality of Rühen .

In previous centuries the mill lay off the beaten track. The old military road from Vorsfelde to Brome ran past several hundred metres to the west. Since the road was moved in the 19th century it has run through the middle of the mill yard, which has one building on either side of the road. On 19th century maps there are several buildings in the shape of a small hamlet. Today the state road from Wolfsburg-Wendschott to Brechtorf carries a large amount of through traffic that runs past the old watermill.
