Where today the street "An der Bachwiese" runs, the mill stream used to flow. This was an artificially created watercourse, fed by the springs on the Neuberg and in the Großen Wiese. It powered the waterwheel of the Mitzmühle and then crossed the Hasselstraße. Beyond the Mühlstraße, it united with the Osterbach.

Windeck Castle in the centre of the district of Heidesheim was built by the knight Herdegen zu Winternheim in 1209 in the style of a tower castle with Gothic residential buildings. Originally, it was probably a moated castle with a moat and a curtain wall. Various owners used the castle as a residence, tannery and perforated mill, but also for religious services, before the municipality of Heidesheim am Rhein acquired it in 1993 with the aim of saving it from decay. Today, the building houses a community centre, a mayor's office and a wedding…
