The village is located in the southern Franconian Alb or in the Altmühltal nature park on the right edge of the valley and in the valley floor of the Sulz south of the Berching municipality on both sides of the Main-Danube Canal at 370 to 390 meters above sea ​​level .

history

A “Egolfeswilare” mentioned in 1186 could be identical to today's village of Eglasmühle. The village with its mill on the Sulz, in the 19th century still called Eglofsmühle, originally known as “Egilolf's Mill”, belonged to the Plankstetten Benedictine monastery in the Old Kingdom in the territorial area of ​​the Eichstätt Monastery . It is said that Abbot Ulrich von Dürner (ruled 1461–1494) had new monastery vineyards planted with Franconian fans near Eglasmühle in the 1480s . In the Baroque era, Abbot Maurus Xaverius Herbst (r. 1742–1757) had a chapel built on the street Plankstetten-Eglasmühle in 1749 with the statue "Jesus in the dungeon".

Towards the end of the Old Kingdom, around 1800, the village consisted of 16 properties, namely two courtyards, six estates, six little estates, an empty house , i.e. a house with no real estate worth mentioning, and a mill. The bailiwick, the village and community rulership exercised the Plankstetten monastery, while the high court was exercised by the prince-bishop's provost office Berching, belonging to the high monastery upper office Beilngries -Hirschberg.

During the secularization , the lower bishopric, to which the provost office of Berching and thus also Eglasmühle belonged, came to Grand Duke Archduke Ferdinand III in 1802 . from Tuscany and 1806 to the new Kingdom of Bavaria and there to the regional court of Beilngries . When the tax districts were formed in 1809, Eglasmühle with Biberbach , Gösselthal mühle and Plankstetten became part of the Plankstetten tax district. This constellation remained with the formation of the rural communities in 1811 - initially, because with the second community edict of 1818, the community of Plankstetten was formed from Plankstetten itself with the perennial yard and the village of Eglasmühle.

In 1875 there were seven horses and 60 head of cattle in the village belonging to the parish and school in Plankstetten.

In the course of the Bavarian regional reform , Plankstetten and thus also Eglasmühle joined the city of Berching in the district of Neumarkt id Opf. In 1978.
