NHN in the valley of the Betzenbach , which flows less than a kilometer further down in the east into the Speltach, which flows into the wide floodplain . From a natural point of view, the village and the surrounding area are located in the lower area of ​​the Burgberg Vorhöhen and Speltach Bay of the Swabian-Franconian Forest Mountains . The property stands predominantly or entirely on the Quaternary floodplain sediments of the Betzenbach, while gypsum keuper ( grave field formation ) is pending on both sides of the valley slopes and on the small plateaus above . The next place is the hamlet of Banzenweiler three quarters of a kilometer up the valley.

description

Immediately after the Banzenweiler border, the Mühlbach with the name Rauhenbach goes off from the Betzenbach on the left, which is dammed up directly in front of the property to form an elongated, approximately 0.4 hectare Mühlsee and flows back a little after the mill.

The homestead has only one house number, one small and three large outbuildings and is used for agriculture. A sycamore tree is a protected natural monument on the property . On the slopes of the valley around the village there are large areas of poor grass, a little further down on the face of the two valley spurs towards the Speltach hollow, areas that are intensely grazed with sheep and with a group of hat trees on them are protected as natural monuments.

history

The Betzenmühle, formerly known as Bezenmühle and also once called Banzenweiler Mühle in literature, is named after a previous owner. It probably existed at least as early as the 16th century, when it belonged to the Vellbergers , and came to Brandenburg shortly before the turn of the 17th century . Ecclesiastically she belonged to Gründelhardt. In 1884 one house and twelve inhabitants are mentioned.
