history

The Fuchsmühle was first mentioned as a "nut mince mill" in 1350 when Konrad I von Heideck bought it. After the Landshut War of Succession in 1505, the area around Hilpoltstein and with it the Fuchsmühle became part of the new "Young Palatinate" territory . In 1542, Count Palatine Ottheinrich pledged his office in Hilpoltstein to the imperial city of Nuremberg for 36 years. In 1544 she had a book of her pawns made. It also mentions the Fuchsmühle (the Fuchs family was a widely branched miller family). The mill still belonged to the Heideck rule and was only subject to the Hilpoltstein office with high jurisdiction . The “Fuchsmuhl” is also shown on the map of the Hilpoltstein nursing office from 1604, the “Mappa Vogeliana”; her old name "Nusbachmuhl" is also mentioned there. At that time it was parish in the parish of Zell , later in the parish of Hilpoltstein and consisted of "1 He (rdstätte)". The mill building of today was built in 1742 by the miller Aberham Wurm, as an inscription on the facade of the sandstone block building indicates.

Façade inscription “Soli deo gloria ...” - Erected by Aberham Wurm in 1742 only for the glory of God

In the new Kingdom of Bavaria (1806) the Fuchsmühle was assigned to the Hilpoltstein tax district . When the rural community of Hofstetten came into being with the municipal edict of 1818 , it included the village of Marquardholz as well as Hofstetten itself, the Schrötzenhof wasteland , the Fuchsmühle and the Swiss mill , which was later abandoned .

In 1860 the milling operation was stopped. In 1862 the Fleischmann family bought the former mill and ran agriculture on the property; In 1875 there were three horses and eight head of cattle.

On January 1, 1972, the community of Hofstetten was incorporated into the town of Hilpoltstein.

The Fuchsmühlweiher was visited by recreation seekers from the Nuremberg area well into the 1950s and used as a swimming pond. In 1952 a restaurant was set up on the ground floor of the mill building, which was reopened in 1997 after a 15-year break.
