history

Like the Rüdenhäuser Bodenmühle on the Schirnbach, the Dinkelmühle was built in the 16th century. The first miller was Hans Schleuser in 1557, who received the mill from the Counts of Castell as a fief. The mill got its name from a piece of land in the immediate vicinity, which was called "Dinkelbuck" ( -buck = hill). The buildings were rebuilt in the 18th century. The mill is now classified as a monument.

legend

A miller once lived in the Dinkelmühle with his wife. The couple had a son. One night foreign war hordes raided the mill and kidnapped the child. The couple then continued to run the mill alone until a major drought and epidemic broke out. The mill was used less and less, only the spelled was still ground here. In these times of need, the miller even began to use up the few supplies.

One evening the man climbed back into the grinding floor. Then he discovered a little man sitting hungrily looking at the little grist. The miller was frightened and fled. The next morning he told his wife the story and the two agreed to give the little man some of their few reserves. The woman sewed little sacks and every morning the miller filled them with bran . The male took the gift daily and rewarded the miller with a foreign coin .

The time of need passed and the little man came to see the millers less and less. But soon the miller became very ill and his wife could no longer grind the flour. Then the little man returned and ground the grain for the millers. The bread of the spelled mill became famous and the man was nursed back to health. One day even the kidnapped son returned from captivity. In gratitude for the male, a portrait was carved above the grinder of the mill.
