Eidelstedter mill

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The Eidelstedter mill was a water mill and at times also a windmill in Hamburg-Eidelstedt an der Mühlenau . They were located near Reichsbahnstrasse, roughly level with Möhlenort Street. The address of the main building was Möhlenort 6, but the windmill was closer to Reichsbahnstraße.

history

The mill, originally a watermill, is first mentioned around 1350 in the Liber copiarus capituli , which lists the income and possessions of the Hamburg cathedral chapter. It belonged to the Counts of Holstein and Stormarn from the house of Schauenburg . In 1640 the kings of Denmark became owners and leased the mill rights to the highest bidder on a temporary lease. At the end of the 17th century, the temporary lease was converted into a long lease .

The mill was a forced mill for the residents of Eidelstedt , Stellingen , Lokstedt , Niendorf , Schnelsen , Hummelsbüttel , Ottensen , Bahrenfeld , Othmarschen , Großflottbek , Osdorf , Schenefeld , Övelgönne , Langenfelde and Lurup .

In 1707 a windmill was added to grind rye. In 1820 a second windmill was built, which was destroyed by a lightning strike in 1825 . Another mill was then built at the same location.

The mill obligation was lifted in 1854. At that time the mill had 7152 compulsory dinners. In 1859 the mill received new machines and turbines, and a mill house was built.

The mill was sold to Johann Heinrich August Pünjer by the heirs of the former owner in 1860. In 1863 it received a steam engine due to lack of water and in 1866 the fourth grinding course .

The Eidelstedter mill was soon sold back to a former heir until it was acquired by Friedrich Carl Johann Ludwig Lampé on November 30, 1874. The existing long-term lease was canceled by the government on February 2nd, 1880.

In 1900 the water mill was shut down. In 1911 the barn at the windmill burned down due to arson . In 1914 the watermill got a massive extension and a large diesel engine for the grinder .

In 1936, when the windmill was in full operation, one of the blades broke and smashed the blades. During the reconstruction, the wing system was modernized with Bilauschen vertically . In 1940, in a strong storm, the wave, the wave head, the chest piece, and the new wings crashed. The wood required for new grand pianos could not be obtained. A flat roof sealed the tower, and an electric motor drove the grinder. In 1943 the main building at Möhlenort 6 was destroyed by phosphorus bombs. The mill caught fire too, but could be extinguished.

Eidelstedter Mill 1930

In the meantime, Eidelstedt has become a district of Hamburg. The mill tower with the flat roof still stood at Möhlenort in 1984, but it was no longer shown in the development plans at that time. The warehouse of the Rieck forwarding company was still located there for some time. The heavily damaged mill without wings was finally demolished in 2004.
