Eheriedermühle (also Eheriedermühle I and Eheriedermühle II, Eherieder Mühle , Erhardenmühle , Römerhof ) is the name of two wastelands in the area of the town of Kitzingen in the Lower Franconian district of the same name . The outer of the two mills was originally incorporated into Repperndorf , while the inner one belonged to Kitzingen. Today both parts of the city are Kitzingen. Historically there were a total of three mills there.

Geographical location

The districts are located in the far west of the Kitzinger urban area on the Eherieder Mühlbach or Erhardenbach. Further north is Repperndorf, which also belongs to Kitzingen. The east is taken by Kitzingen. The former barracks of the US military are closest to the mills. The area of the Kitzinger Golf Club extends to the south-east, while the Sulzfeld am Main area begins further to the south . To the west, separated by the federal autobahn 7 , begins the area of the Biebelried district of Kaltensondheim .

The so-called powder mill , which originally belonged to the three Eherieder mills, is now located in the middle of Kitzingen on Kaltensondheimer Straße.

history

Very little is known about the history of the mills . Most of the time, all businesses on the Eherieder Mühlbach are mentioned together. For a long time, because of their distance from the Kitzinger Spazentor, they were called Äußere, Mittlere and Innere Eherieder Mühle, at times also after a miller Erhardenmühlen. A so-called powder mill was set up in the inner mill as early as the 16th century. The Margrave of Brandenburg-Ansbach , the abbess of the Kitzingen Benedictine monastery and the city council allowed the production of gunpowder in 1524.

The other two mills were operated as grain mills for a long time . The Mittlere Eheriedermühle, today the so-called Römerhof, was inhabited in the 18th century by the miller Michael Förster. Before 1725 he got caught up in his business and donated the wayside shrine that still exists today because of his rescue . At the beginning of the 20th century, the mills had already been converted into tourist restaurants with inns. Today there are two wineries there .

Attractions

Mittlere Eheriedermühle - residential building with an inn

Only one of the mill buildings has been preserved and is classified as a historical monument by the Bavarian State Office for the Preservation of Monuments . It is the Middle Eheriedermühle. The house is a single - storey half-hipped roof with drilled window frames. An inscription indicates the year of construction "1755". Immediately next to the building is a stone fountain from the 18th and 19th centuries.

There is a wayside shrine on the road to Kaltensondheim. It was built in 1725 and goes back to a foundation by the miller Michael Förster. The inscription in the predella reads: "To praise and honor the Holy Trinity (sic) Michael Förster had this biltstock made in 1725." The top of the stick is framed by angel heads and acanthus and shows the Holy Family with God the Father and the Holy Spirit above .
