Ottoman period water mills

Watermills are usually referred to by the names of those who manage them (who are also the owners). In addition to being places to meet a basic need, mills have an important place in traditional culture with the practices made during arrival and departure, waiting at the mill, and the products produced. In traditional practice, each mill has a miller. This miller is either the owner of that mill or the person hired by the mill owner. All of the products brought to the mill are ground by the miller, and the product owners do not interfere with the grinding business. The miller receives a certain right from the flour obtained in return for this work. Gebiç refers to the rights taken by the miller. Measuring cups called Kabis (approximately one liter) were used for the measurement of Gebiç. Below you will find the names of some of the ruins of these mills. Among these, it is run by Mahmut Öztürk, who can still run with a little maintenance.
