The Glemsmühle is a listed former watermill on the Glems in Münchingen .
The mill was called "ze Mur" mill in 1381 and "under Mur" mill in 1523 , which was derived from the name of the Mauer estate . After Joachim Rieger, who owned the mill around 1565, it was later named Riegersmühle. In addition, the name Glemsmühle appeared, which is still there today. The mill was destroyed in the Thirty Years War and rebuilt in 1675 by Martin Hecker from Iptingen.
The 250 m long canal branched off to the right of the Glems powered four water wheels in 1834. The mill had two grinding courses, a tanning course and a hemp grater. In 1900 the grinding operation was switched to electricity generation and the overland plant "Elektrizitätswerk Glemsmühle GmbH" was founded with the participation of Friedrich Freiherr von Gaisberg-Schöckingen . A 4.65 m high and 2.53 m wide overshot water wheel supplied the energy for the generator that supplied buildings in Hemmingen , Hirschlanden , Schöckingen , Münchingen and, from 1906, in Markgröningen with electricity. The water wheel used a gradient of 4.44 m and had a raw power of 11.8 hp at 220 l / s water flow.
In 1930, grinding was resumed in a newly built four-story mill building. An overshot water wheel 4 m in diameter and 2 m wide drove the mill. It was supported by an electric motor with 15 hp. The water wheel was replaced by an Ossberger turbine in 1948/49 . In 1974 the grinding operation was stopped. The last miller was Wilhelm Velte. The mill was converted into a residential building, the Mühlkanal was filled in as part of the land consolidation and the straightening of Glems, and the weir was removed.
