In Frickingen-Leustetten there is still a Lohmühle from 1835, which was turned into a tannery museum on the initiative of the local home association.
The Lohmühle belonged to the Mantz tannery, which had been based here since the 18th century.
The village stream, which once flowed openly through Leustetten, supplied the Lohmühle and the tannery with the necessary water.
Lohe was an important raw material for tanning. It was made from tree bark and supplied the tannic acid with which the animal skins were processed and preserved. With the closure of the tannery in the 1960s, operation of the mill was also given up.

Today's tannery museum shows the typical equipment for leather production such as fulling barrel, leather roller, grindstone, shearing beam, pusher table and bark mill, which are driven by the large mill wheel of the tanning mill. Volunteer managers are happy to set these machines in motion for the visitors and explain the various work processes in a professional manner.
