history

The kidney mill is one of the longest-running mills on the Breitbach. However, the interpretation of the name is unclear. This may be derived from the surname of an unknown miller . It is more likely, however, that it is the "mill by the rocks" or the "stone mill". The Middle High German word nuor , rock, is reminiscent of today's name. For a long time the plant was named Bulachsmühle after the former settlement in its vicinity.

The mill was mentioned for the first time in 1359. The chapel in nearby Dornheim was upgraded to a parish church and received some income from the vineyards at the “Bulachermule” to support the new priest's livelihood . In 1518 the place reappeared in the sources as "Bulessmüle". An operator of the kidney mill is mentioned for the first time in 1609. It was the miller Lorenz Nüßlein from the "Kidney Mühl". He was mentioned again in 1613.

In 1616 the name of the mill was badly deformed. This is how one spoke of the "Nürnmül". Between 1681 and 1707 the miller Johann Jakob Schlang was responsible for the plant. She was probably the Cistercian monastery Ebrach assigned, because in 1714 it was in a Ebracher Urbar called and "Nierren Muehl" as "Bulachß Muehl", "Neüen Mühl". The Schlang family also received the mill between 1721 and 1734. Melchior Schlang lived in the kidney mill.

With Johann Michael Wehner a new master miller is proven for 1747. He was replaced by Johann Peter Christgau in 1767 at the latest, who handed over the Ebrach fiefdom to his son. Georg Christoph Christgau is mentioned in 1794 in the Ebracher fief books. The mill was described in 1799. It belonged to the monastery office Mönchsondheim and had three meals. In 1833 the names changed between Bülachs and kidney mills.

Attractions

The surviving remains of the mill are classified by the Bavarian State Office for Monument Preservation as an architectural monument .
