history

The flour mill below the Trautberg was first mentioned in 1624. Jakob Beiger was named as "Müller zum Trautberg". The name changed in the 17th century. Between 1675 and 1689 the miller Hanns Grünenwaldt owned the mill. During this period the facility was named "Grünewaldsmühle" after its owner. The mill got its current name when it was owned by Hans Michael Geyer between 1733 and 1756.

A short time later, in 1781, today's buildings were built. The owner Lorenz Schmidt built the facility. In 1888 the miller Andreas Elflein acquired the Geiersmühle. The Elflein family lived in the immediate vicinity of the mill at the beginning of the 21st century. In 1942, however, the mill was shut down and converted into a residential building . In 1991, the owners at the time, the Dürr family, began demolishing the building.

Attractions

The preserved mill buildings are classified as a monument of the Bavarian State Office for the Preservation of Monuments. The center of the complex is the residential building from the late 18th century. It presents itself as a single-storey mansard roof building with a half-hipped roof and a half-timbered gable. The barn was built at the turn of the 19th century and was built as a sandstone block with a steep pitched roof. In addition, outbuildings have been preserved.
