Dubkow Mill
The Dubkow mill ( Dubkowy młyn in Lower Sorbian ) is a former water mill in the Spreewald . The Mühlenhof, which is also traditionally used for gastronomic purposes, belongs to the western Spreewald village of Leipe , a district of Lübbenau / Spreewald . The mill area is designated as the place where Leipe lived under the name Dubkowmühle .
The mill is located directly on the Spree . The road from Burg (Spreewald) to Leipe leads past to the north. The cucumber cycle path also passes the mill, which is now run as a restaurant and accommodation business.
history
On May 2, 1701 Friedrich Casimir zu Lynar approved the master miller Georg Schramm from Neu Zauche in Dubkowa to build a water mill as a replacement for a water mill in Raddusch . The residents of Raddusch, Dlugy , today's Fleißdorf and Naundorf were obliged to eat the Dubkow mill . The mill was founded on oak piles and built with alder wood. At that time, the Dubkow mill, which is typical for the Spreewald, could only be reached by water.
In 1714 the son Martin Schramm bought the mill for 150 Reichstaler . However, Martin Schramm died in 1721. Probably due to petitions from his widow, an intended foreclosure auction was not carried out. Johann George Schramm continued to run the mill and in 1728 married Maria Elisabeth Müller , the stepdaughter of a wealthy burger miller.
On January 21, 1737 the Dubkow mill received the right to distill and serve brandy for an annual interest of one Reichstaler and six groschen. In 1755 Matthäs Jarick Müller became the Dubkow mill. In 1753 he married Margareta Schramm, the miller's daughter. His son-in-law Johann Christian Lehmann took over the mill in 1773. He was previously a miller in Krieschow and had married 15-year-old Margareta Jarick at the age of 30 .
In 1791 the mill burned down as a result of arson caused by a jealous drama . The reconstruction was carried out in half-timbered construction . After Johann Christian Lehmann's death in 1815, his son Johann Carl Gottlieb Lehmann acquired the Dubkow mill for 2,300 thalers. In 1900 Reinhold Kling is the owner of the mill. With the advent of Spreewald tourism at the end of the 19th century, the Dubkow mill developed more and more into a popular excursion restaurant. Before the First World War , the Brandenburg Provincial Association became the owner of the property , probably due to tax debts . The mill continued to be operated by tenants.
In 1919 the mill was no longer profitable and the Dubkow mill was only continued as a restaurant. On April 1, 1922, August Konzack , who had previously married the daughter of the previous tenant, leased the property. In order to counter inflation , the annual lease agreed was 222 times a tied hundredweight of meadow hay. Major renovations took place from 1923 to 1925. The water wheel that was still in place was removed and the space gained was used for guest rooms. The changed restaurant and guesthouse opened in 1924. In 1934 August Konzack acquired the mill and the property for 15,000 Reichsmarks.
In the final phase of the Second World War , 200 refugees from the surrounding villages fled to the Dubkow mill in the inaccessible interior of the Spreewald before the approaching fighting.
The mill farmhouse was connected to the power grid in 1958. In 1960 the course of the Spree near the mill was relocated 20 m to the south. Since then there has been a small strip of green between the mill and the river. In 1969 the Dubkow mill, after which it was only accessible by boat or on foot for 268 years, was connected to the road network. Even today, however, many guests come to the mill on the waterway. After August Konzack died in 1974, his nephew Erich Konzack took over the mill. The mill building was rebuilt because it was in disrepair. A major flood disaster struck the Dubkow mill, like the rest of the Spreewald, in 1979. The mill house only protruded a few centimeters from the water.
After the political change in 1989 , the mill was also connected to the central drinking water supply. Until then, the mill had been supplied with tank trucks, as the water from the Spree was no longer suitable for drinking. Ilona Konzack , daughter of Erich Konzack, has owned the Dubkow mill since 2005 .
