history

Logo Dinkelmühle Graf

Already in 1100 there appears in documents from the Ochsenhausen monastery , a mill in Tannheim in later times under the then common saint name St. Benignus . The mill was built in its present form around 1610 during the tenure of Abbot Urban Mayer . At that time, Tannheim was the official seat and an exclusive part of the spiritual territory of the imperial abbey of Ochsenhausen and had 212 fireplaces in 1598. The mill consists of three parts of the building, the actual mill with a mill shop and residential building, the granary (1925) and an agricultural utility building. The mill and the granary are connected by a walkway. From the Mühlebach, a tributary of the Tannschorrenbach , branches off a canal above the Mühleberg, which drives the mill wheel at thirty-five liters per second on normal days. The self-operated agriculture has a seven-part crop rotation . At the time of secularization , an ancestor of the current owner named Xaver Graf from Altdorf, later the vineyard , bought the mill. The steel mill's water wheel dates from 1884. The roller mills from Wegmann Zurich date from 1914. The mill is in the fifth generation of the Graf family.
