 A so-called "Pletschmühle" (one with an overshot waterwheel that could only run when the water flow was strong enough) also stood for a time, on a channel that tapped into one of the Glan's tributaries, which was used only as an overflow mill, and was bound to the main mill.Soon after the Second World War, the mill in Rehweiler was shut down for good.The economic mainstay was agriculture, though the village had the customary craftsmen and innkeepers, and alongside them beginning in the mid 19th century also "Musikanten" (travelling musicians; see Musikanten and Otto Schwarz in the Hinzweiler article for more about them) and miners.
