Gösselthal is a district of the town of Beilngries in the Upper Bavarian district of Eichstätt .

location

The hamlet is located north of the municipality of Beilngries in the former Sulztal (today Main-Danube Canal) of the southern Franconian Jura in the Altmühltal Nature Park . The place can be reached via an exit from the B 299.

history

The courtyard, mill and table at “Rosenthal” are mentioned for the first time as a gift from Eichstätt Bishop Gebhard and his brother Hertwicus to the Benedictine monastery in Plankstetten in 1129. The mill operated here existed until the 1950s. In 1615 the mill served as a pledge for the monastery to take out a loan on the occasion of a new convent building. When the Eichstätter cathedral chapter asked for their money back a few decades later, the monastery sold the mill with the permission of the Eichstätt prince-bishop . In 1653 the monastery was able to buy back the mill. Under Abbot Dominic III. von Eisenberg (1726–1742) built a new building in the mill property. When the monastery was dissolved in the course of secularization in 1806, the Gößelthalmühle came into private ownership.

In 1908 the hamlet was described as follows: “Farm. Characteristic courtyard; Farm yard surrounded by buildings. Crenellated entrance gate. On a shed the coat of arms of the Plankstetten monastery and DAIB 1759, d [as] i [is] Dominikus Abbas in Blankstetten. ”In 1935 a company in the wood industry settled. Today the Nuremberg Waterways and Shipping Office has its operations center here, which has been the district control center (traffic communication center for inland navigation) for the entire Main-Danube connection since April 2012. The Main-Danube Canal , which was handed over to its destination in 1992 , has absorbed the Sulz brook, which meanders in the valley floor . The new canal leads past Gösselthal to the west, while the old canal, the Ludwig-Danube-Main Canal , inaugurated in 1846 and officially closed in 1949 due to war damage , ran east of the hamlet on the slope route. The trough bridge over the way to Oberndorf has been preserved, while the canal itself is dry in this area.

In the early summer of 2017, a new information and visitor center “Waterway Experience” was opened in the former mill property.

chapel

In the first half of the 19th century, the mill owner Georg Meixner built a private chapel.
