history

"Eisfelder Talmühle" inn, destroyed by arson in 1913

The distiller Karl-Heinz-Ludwig Eißfeldt (1787–1845) built a grist mill in Beretal in 1826 , which in May 1829 was named "Eisfelder Mühle" in his memory. With Eißfeldt's application for "schnapps in the new mill", the restaurant began in 1828. Since the spirits production did not find the sales they had hoped for, Eißfeldt applied to be allowed to separate timber in January 1834. A sawmill was built in 1835 and put into operation in 1837. After the death of Karl-Heinz-Ludwig Eißfeldt in 1845, the eldest son applied for a takeover. His request was rejected by the administration because it was feared that claims could arise from the services provided by the Eißfeldt family. The value of the Eisfelder Mühle was therefore estimated and the heirs were paid their share; The owner was now the forest administration.

After a Royal Hannoversche postal forwarding company was established in Ilfeld in 1847 , the Eisfelder Talmühle became a post office in 1867. A restaurant extension now complemented the new destination.

With the connection of the two railway companies NWE and GHE in 1905, the new station got its present representative station building instead of a previous wooden hut. When the grist mill burned down completely due to arson in 1913, a restaurant was set up in the station building.

Rail operations

Today the operation is carried out by the Harz narrow-gauge railways . Until 1945 it was the joint station of the NWE and the GHE. After the Second World War , the section between Stiege and Straßberg was dismantled, so that the Eisfelder Talmühle– Hasselfelde branch had to be operated by the Harzquerbahn. It was only since 1983 that the Deutsche Reichsbahn rebuilt the line and enabled continuous traffic to Gernrode . After the Frose – Quedlinburg railway was closed , the section between Quedlinburg and Gernode was converted to narrow gauge with a gauge of 1000 mm. The line to Quedlinburg has been open since March 4, 2006, and trains have been running on the line as scheduled since June 26, 2006.

The Eisfelder Talmühle station was manned by a dispatcher until the early 1990s . The station building then fell into disrepair and the restaurant remained closed. After being sold to a private investor in recent years, the station building has been renovated and a restaurant has now been opened.

In addition to the Alexisbad train station , it is the second train station in the Harz Mountains, where two steam locomotives can be seen double exits , although modern railcars are predominant in day-to-day operations . Lately, gravel trains have been found again more frequently at Eisfelder Talmühle station, which are loaded in the neighboring Unterberg quarry , assembled here and brought to Nordhausen. It is the only freight traffic on the Harz narrow-gauge railways.
