Location of Buschmühle in Rhineland-Palatinate |
||
The historic property of the Buschmühle is located in the district of Weyher in the Palatinate on the upper reaches of the Modenbach at the foot of the Blättersberg .
The valley basin, which is open to the south, is protected by the Blättersberg to the north and the mountains of the Palatinate Forest to the west , is characterized by an exceptionally mild microclimate, which favors viticulture and allows the chestnut trees planted by the Romans to thrive in extensive forests. Even palm trees and huge banana trees grow outdoors in sheltered places all year round.
history
The imposing Buschmühle estate in the Modenbach Valley was first mentioned in a document in 1608. At this time, Hans Stephan Hartlieb from Burrweiler founded the "painting and oil mill and hammer mill " on the upper reaches of the Modenbach . The roots of this agricultural property, like those of the neighboring community of Weyher, probably go back to Roman times. From old documents it can be seen that he was followed by Johann Wolfgang Durass from Weyher, who was then the master of the interest and later chamber director. He and his inheriting daughter Eva Elisabeth Durass, the mother of the famous Johann Andreas von Traitteur , leased the Buschmühle several times.
In 1838, the then owner Jakob Minck from Annweiler am Trifels built what is now the main building of the Buschmühle next to the old mill in the style of a manor house.
Johannes Sauter from Zeiskamer Mühle acquired the Buschmühle in 1888. It was taken over by his son-in-law Jakob Hünerfauth in 1890 and later continued by his son Hermann Hünerfauth. Jakob Hünerfauth added a bakery to the mill and supplied the villages around Landau and Edenkoben as well as in the Ramberger Valley with bread with a horse and cart . The six-pound loaf of pure rye bread cost 55 pfennigs back then.
In 1900 a restaurant was finally set up on the Buschmühle . In addition, the property now serves as a training and further education center for gastronomy.
The mill was shut down exactly 250 years after it was founded, namely in 1958.
The Buschmühle became known nationwide because the former Chancellor Helmut Kohl was a regular there and regularly stopped by with state guests and his cabinet for hearty dishes such as the famous Palatinate Saumagen or steamed noodles .
