WELCOME TO US
Mills, sawmills and other water-powered facilities formed an important part of the cultural landscape of Graubünden until the 19th century. There were also around twenty grain mills in Klosters.
Since the Prättigau was opened up by road and railway at the beginning of the 19th century, less and less grain was grown in our area. It was no longer worthwhile to grow grain at these high altitudes. Buying from the lowlands was more cost-effective than the labor-intensive, expensive production in the mountains. As grain cultivation dwindled, so did the mills. At the beginning of the First World War, the "Untere Rohrmühle" was also close to collapse. The mill owners, the farmers' milling community of the Rohr farms, restored the mill for temporary use during the First World War and used it one last time.
After the First World War, in 1918, it was also sold to Fritz Schoellhorn. The purchase price at that time was CHF 120.00.
Preserving this small mill as one of the last witnesses of old machine culture for future generations - that was probably the idea that prompted Fritz Schoellhorn to buy the mill. In 1954, his son, Dr. Georg Schoellhorn, donated the Rohrmühle, together with the Nutlihüschi, to the municipality of Klosters.
Since 1980, the mill has been renovated in stages and has been operational again since 1997.
A viewing is possible by appointment on Friday afternoons in summer.
