history

Today's mill buildings go back to one of four mills in a place that was otherwise probably lost in the 13th century. The place was in the 15th and 17th centuries as a stain rings called, but an original ending to is -ingen questionable, as the place name also just have a stain could call. In 1295 a mill ( molendinum in Fleckenger ) was mentioned, other historical spellings are Flegkenger (1349) and Fleckengen (1389).

The first of the once four mills was tax-free. The second had an annual validity of five times to be paid to the Wimpfen pen . The third mill included ten acres of forest and half an acre of meadows, and annually paid twelve malter to the Johannespfründe and one malter to the Katharinen altar. Ten acres of forest and a garden belonged to the fourth mill; it paid eight malter grain to the Katharinenpfründe annually.

The mills were ravaged by the Croats in 1635 during the Thirty Years' War . Under Procurator JG Kalchschmidt the two lower mills were rebuilt in 1674; Kalchschmidt then received the mills from the Worms cathedral chapter as a fief. The mills were exempt from taxes to the city of Wimpfen for 20 years, and from 1695 the city tried to take over the mills. In the 18th century the mills were the partial Ortswüstung as spot Heimer mills referred.

After salt water was found in the area where the Fleckinger valley flows into the Neckar valley in 1760 , the Salinenamt acquired one of the mills in 1764, whereupon the first Wimpfener Saline was built. In 1771, a superstructure was built on the lower well of the salt works with material from a broken extension of the Fleckinger mill. In February 1772, the six acre Fleckinger Mühlwald was cut down to obtain firewood for the operation of the salt works. In 1779 another attempt was made to dig for salt water in the Mühlwiesen. Most recently, the deficit municipal saltworks was leased to private entrepreneurs. On the occasion of a change of tenant in 1796, the saltworks was moved from the plateau to the Neckar valley. The salt works and buildings were demolished and one building was converted into a residential building.
