Machtemes Mill — Hotel, Restaurant and Waterwheel
Highlight • Restaurant
According to the website of the operator, the mill itself was originally a Lohmühle.
The first written mention should go back to the 17th century.
Lohmühlen were used at that time, in order to win the tanning material needed for leather tanning. With the help of the mill tannery-containing oak bark (= Lohe) was crushed.
The raw material was won in so-called "Luhhecken" (Lohhecken).
These were oak forests, which were managed in the Nierderwaldbetrieb to this end.

Falkenauel
Highlight • Settlement
The place belongs politically to the municipality Daleiden, Eifelkreis Bitburg-Prüm, Rhineland-Palatinate.
The Irsen forms here the Gemarkungsgrenze to the district Karlshausen.
The mill, which is located on the left bank of the river is therefore not to Daleiden, but to Karlshausen.
In this respect, the name "Karlshausener Mühle" hits the mark.
Prior to the territorial reform, however, the Irsen was not only the boundaries of boundaries, but also the border between the former districts of Bitburg and Prüm.
In Falkenauel is also the language border between the "Islek" and the "Gutland variant" of the Moselle-Franconian language.

St. Martin Church, Irrhausen
Highlight • Religious Site
Already Celts and Romans left their mark at the confluence of Irsen and Mannerbach. The village was probably founded between the 9th and 11th centuries. As a former possession of the Abbey of Prüm, Irrhausen became part of the feud of Vianden - Luxemburg more than a thousand years ago and took on a similar historical development as the neighboring villages.
The changing "nationalities" of Irrhausener are an indication of the changing political history of the region. At first they were Celtic Trevirians, then Roman - Germanic, later Franconian.
At the beginning of the Middle Ages they were Luxembourgish, from 1555 habsburg - Spanish, belonged from 1700 to the Austrian - Spanish Netherlands, where they remained until 1793.
The French Revolution gave the citizens of Irrhausen their French citizenship, which they had to exchange for the Prussian army in 1815, to become Rhineland - Palatinate federal republicans in 1949.
