history
Former village mill
The village mill (also called Obremühl ) was first mentioned in a document in 1248 in the income register of the Archbishop of Mainz. In 1546 the miller Endres Hertweck exchanged half of the village mill with Eberhard Rüdt von Collenberg, the new owner of the Gamburger rule, for an annual amount of grain. As a result, the mill was jointly owned by the Upper and Lower Lords of Gamburg. In this context, the miller Hans Hummel complained, recorded in a document in 1658, “No man could serve two masters.” The mill was only leased to the millers for a few years. Recurring floods from the Tauber and Maisenbach rivers , combined with damage to the mill wheels and the tee, resulted in further heavy loads. In the middle of the 18th century, Mühle was finally bequeathed to the Ruhland miller family. It later passed to the Eckert family and then to the Lang family.
An additional mill building with modern grinding machines was built in 1954. When many small farms gave up their existence in the 1950s and 1960s, the village mill gradually lost its livelihood as well. In 1970, it was finally decided to shut down the mill and stop grinding operations. However, at the same time, the existing turbine system from 1911 was replaced by a modern and powerful system in order to feed the electricity generated with it into the power grid. The master miller Alois Lang and then owner of the village mill was from 1955 to 1972 mayor of the then still independent municipality of Gamburg. After the community reform, Lang was the mayor until 1980. Hartmut Lang has been the owner and operator of the hydropower plant since 1988, and he was also mayor of Gamburg from 1989 to 2009 and served as a councilor for the Werbach community for 30 years.
Opened living space
The houses of the former village mill, which are still inhabited, are no longer run as an independent living space and are considered to have been incorporated into the neighboring village. The living space came to the municipality of Werbach on January 1, 1975 as part of the formerly independent municipality of Gamburg.
