history

The mill at Gründleinsbach is one of the oldest watermills in the area. It was first mentioned in 1399 as the "Upper Mill". It probably supplied the grain for the residential town of Castell and was given to various millers by the Counts of Castell as a fief. It was not until the 19th century, 1804, that the then miller Leonhard Dennterlein erected the buildings that are still preserved today.

In 1855, the then pastor of the Johanneskirche in Castell Wilhelm Funk founded an asylum for escaped convicts in the mill's farm buildings. This asylum was expanded by a few buildings in 1930 and 1949. During World War II it was the target of an air raid by British bombers . On April 4, 1945 the farm buildings were destroyed. The reconstruction was carried out in the post-war period.

The Gründleinsmühle remained in operation after the war. Since 1926 it has been owned by Georg Heumüller, who lived in the facility with his family. That is why the name “Heumühle” caught on in the 20th century. In 1985 the mill was stopped and the mill was converted into a residential building .
