Diverse Investment and Usage Potential: Historic Building Ensemble in Beautiful Freyburg on the Unstrut Seeks Investor.
The Zeddenbach Mill is a 120-year-old mill building situated directly on the Wine Route and the Romanesque Road. It is undoubtedly a locally significant and worthy of preservation ensemble with a range of building conditions from acceptable to very poor, in a highly characteristic location on the Unstrut River. A dedicated investor and a thoughtful usage concept could breathe new life into this monument. A local plaque informs that Napoleon I, with his troops, crossed the Unstrut River at this site on October 21, 1813, after the lost Battle of Leipzig.

The City of Freyburg in Saxony-Anhalt
Located directly on the Romanesque Road and the Saale-Unstrut Wine Route, Freyburg is a tourist magnet in the midst of the famous Unstrut Valley and its renowned wine-growing areas. Next to the picturesque vineyards, the Zeddenbach Mill sits on the Unstrut River, the namesake of the region.
Freyburg is situated on Federal Highway 180 and Federal Highway 176. The nearest motorway exits are Merseburg Süd on the A38 and Naumburg on the A9. Freyburg (Unstrut) station is operated by Deutsche Bahn.
Freyburg’s history dates back to around 1090 with the construction of the New Castle on a hill east of the present-day town, a vast Romanesque complex with a keep and a sister castle to the famous Wartburg. The town of Freyburg belonged to the territory of the Landgraves of Thuringia, was first documented in 1203, and received city rights in 1261. Today, the municipality of Freyburg has nearly 4,600 inhabitants.
Freyburg was the first city in Germany to have a three-dimensional city and landscape plan created. It has a more than 1000-year history of winegrowing and has been a state-recognized spa resort since December 1989.
The city’s economy has been shaped by sparkling wine production since 1856. Today, Rotkäppchen-Mumm Sektkellereien GmbH is headquartered in Freyburg and is the market leader in sparkling wine sales in Germany, with over 100 million bottles sold annually.
The 176-kilometer-long Unstrut Cycle Path and the Ecumenical Pilgrim Path from Görlitz to Vacha run through the city. A lock allows waterway travelers to bypass the Unstrut weir in Freyburg. The annual wine festival held in September is a highlight of the wine culture, drawing numerous tourists to the city.
