The Furtmühle is a district of the municipality of Altdorf, which is incorporated into the Markt Titting, in the Upper Bavarian district of Eichstätt .

location

The solitude lies in the southern Franconian Alb in the Anlautertal between the Tittingen district of Altdorf in the west and the Kindingen district of Erlingshofen in the east. It can be reached via a local connecting route branching off from State Road 2228 . Behind the mill, a path leads through the forest up to the Jurahöhe to the Furthof .

history

The mill originally belonged to the Augustinian Canons Rebdorf and was exchanged for the Eichstätt Monastery in 1486 under Bishop Wilhelm von Reichenau as part of his extensive acquisition policy . Here it was initially subordinate to the prince-bishop's nursing office Brunneck of the judges office Greding , from the middle of the 16th century until the end of the Old Kingdom to the nursing and bailiff's office Titting- Raitenbuch ; Duties were also to be paid to the prince-bishop's court box office.

After the secularization of the Hochstift Eichstätt as a result of the Reichsdeputationshauptschluss , the mill with Altdorf in the new Kingdom of Bavaria in 1808 came to the tax district of Morsbach , which became the municipality of Altdorf in 1818. In 1823 (also in 1950) eight people lived in the mill.

Above the mill, the Furtmüller laid out the Furthof with a brick factory in the 19th century . The Furthof later became independent through the division of property between two brothers.

In the course of the regional reform in Bavaria , the mill with Altdorf was incorporated into Titting the following year after an Altdorf municipal decision on January 1, 1971.

The mill property is now a sawmill.

Furtloch

If one climbs up the valley slope behind the Furtmühle in a south-westerly direction, after about 500 meters one arrives at a 40-meter-long and up to eight-meter-high rock wall, at the foot of which there is an approximately 80 by 80 cm large hole, the "Furtloch". which soon narrows to 35 cm in diameter. After about four meters the cave passage becomes higher again, and you can see over a rock barrier into the actual cave room, a rock dome about three meters in diameter and six meters high. Smooth or pearl-like calcareous sinter and drooping stalactites can be seen on the rock walls . According to legend, the "Furtfräulein" lived here to work at the Furtmüller at night.
