Bünzer watermill
The Bünzer watermill is a well-preserved water mill from the 16th century in the Bünzen district of the municipality of Aukrug . Today the mill is no longer in operation.
history
The mill was built in half-timbered construction and has an overshot water wheel with a diameter of 3.25 m. The exact year of construction is unknown, but repairs in 1594 have already been documented. In 1769 the mill building was rebuilt or at least heavily repaired. Inside the mill there is a complete device with bevel gear , spur gear for two gears and a squeezer.
The mill is a so-called royal mill with mill compulsory , in which the royal subjects from the villages of Bünzen, Innien, Homfeld, Bargfeld and Böken, which are now grouped together as the municipality of Aukrug, and from Gnutz had to have their mills . For the monastic subjects there was a mill obligation for the next monastic mill in Springhoe , about 15 kilometers away.
