history

The mill was first mentioned in 1329 under the name "Rormul", because it was driven by the Rohrach, in a certificate of division of Hohentrüdingen Castle . This mill designation persists with small deviations until 1616. It is recorded in a Salbuch of the Heidenheim monastery from 1400 under the name “Rormühl”; she had to pay contributions in kind and in cash to the monastery. The Vogtei exercised the rule of Hohentrüdingen; she also received taxes from the mill. After the Reformation and the secularization of the Heidenheim monastery in 1537, the mill belonged to the Brandenburg-Ansbach caste office in Hohentrüdingen .

The new name "Palsenmühle", which is mentioned for the first time in 1616, was probably given to the mill after an owner called Bals / Pals after 1608; In 1682 Leonhard Palß appeared as Müller. Both mill names alternate in the following. In 1732 the Balsenmühle was counted among the 141 bourgeois houses in Heidenheim. In 1775, the owner at the time is also a “master tailor”, so he probably already introduced a sawmill next to the grinding mill - later verifiable. At the end of the Holy Roman Empire, the “Balsen, or Rohrmühl” was subordinate to the margravial administration office of Heidenheim and, in high court, the margravial superior office of Hohentrüdingen; ecclesiastically it belonged to the Protestant parish of Heidenheim.

In 1791/92 the mill with the Margraviate of Ansbach became royal-Prussian and in 1806 royal-Bavarian. When tax districts were formed in 1808 , the Balsenmühle came to the Heidenheim tax district in the Heidenheim district court with further mills and wastelands . In 1810 the mill was separated from the tax district and assigned to the municipality of Hechlingen . This was reversed by the municipal edict of 1818 and the Balsenmühle was incorporated into the current market town of Heidenheim.

In 1824 ten people lived in the mill. In 1833 the mill was equipped with two grinding aisles and one tanning process; In terms of land, it included 10.3 ha of fields and 4.1 ha of meadow. The property, which now also includes a sawmill, has been in the hands of the current owner family since 1872. In 1930 a hydropower and lighting system was installed. In 1940 the mill was only used for grist milling . In 1950 the mill had five residents, and six in 1961 and 1979.

In 1862 the district court of Heidenheim, in which the pipe mill had been located since 1808, became part of the district office (later the district) of Gunzenhausen. With the regional reform in Bavaria , the mill came with Heidenheim in 1972 with the dissolved district of Gunzenhausen in the new district of Weißenburg-Gunzenhausen. Today it is the seat of a haulage company.
