Dinkholder Mill
The Dinkholder Mill near Braubach is a listed watermill that was in operation until 1982. It lies in a side valley of the Rhine between Braubach and Osterspai .
In addition to the lower Dinkholder mill , there were three more mills on the Dinkholder Bach . The mill was first mentioned in 1277 as a mill in Dinkholder of the Cistercian - Kloster Eberbach in the Rheingau ; There is also written evidence of the sale of these three mills in 1278 by the Osterspaier brothers to the Eberbach Abbey. In the following centuries the mill business saw changing tenants and owners. In 1675 the owner Albert Metz, a carpenter from Wellmich , built a half-timbered house for the mill.
The baroque , framework has a slender, with carvings provided corner bay , to a hood crowns. On the Rhine side, a half-timbered building was added in the late 19th century. The Dinkholder Mühle was owned by the Matz family for over 300 years until the last descendant of the family, Ernst Otto Bröder, sold the building in 1982.
An oil mill was attached to the grinding mill until the end of the 19th century . Both mills were originally powered by water power; In the 20th century the drive of the grinding mill was supplemented with a Deutz diesel engine. The mill parts still preserved date from around 1930 and include three metal roller grinders and a double mill stick. The transmission over four floors with the drive shaft with seven bearings has also been preserved.
