The desert Ettringermühle is a district of the Upper Swabian community Ettringen in the Unterallgäu district in Swabia . Today it is mostly referred to as the Baindl-Hof .

geography

Ettringermühle is located on what is now the northeastern outskirts of the main town of Ettringen and includes the "Baindl-Hof" building complex at today's Kapellenstrasse 26–32.

history

The Ettringer Mill is first mentioned in 1280 and was at that time still far from the village on the Mühlbach. In 1628, a Johann Heiß, later a Caspar Kindler, were handed down as millers. The mill got the water from a brook branched off from the Wertach. In the course of the Wertach straightening in the 19th century, the Mühlbach Canal was extended upstream and the branch at the upper weir that still exists today was created. On All Saints' Day in 1870 the upper Wertach weir, where the Mühlbach branches off, was destroyed and renewed by a flood.

A fire in 1910 meant the end of the former grinding mill. In 1910, the owner Fackler built the first Ettringen power station with a turbine in place of the mill, the turbine of which is still in operation. The agricultural part of the property, named "Facklerhof" after the mill owner at the time, was sold in 1913. In the 20th century, the Lang Papier company (today: UPM Ettringen ) bought the property after the death of the last owner, Michael Baindl, and used it as a guest house for a while.

The approximately 250 year old mill building was demolished in 1980.

Attractions

At the entrance of the Baindl-Hof stands the Baindl-Chapel , which was probably built around 1880 in the neo-Gothic style . The listed, but neglected chapel was repaired in 2003 by the local paper mill UPM Ettringen with the support of the community and the neighborhood and consecrated again in August 2003.
