European Paper Mills (from the era of hand-made paper) (Germany) is part of the Tentative list of Germany in order to qualify for inclusion in the World Heritage List.

The German contribution to the serial transnational proposal of European Paper Mills consists of the Homburg and Niederzwönitz Paper Mills. The one in Homburg is a half-timbered structure dating back to 1729, but moved to this location in 1807. It also includes a partly mechanised production line for making cardboard. The mill in Niederzwönitz originated in the 16th century and produced paper for the mining administration of the Ore Mountains.
