Haldenwaldmühle

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The Haldenwaldmühle is a former mill on the right bank of the Strudelbach and the residential area of ​​the Heimerdingen community (now part of the town of Ditzingen ) in the Ludwigsburg district .

history

In the 15th century, the local lords of Heimerdingen had a mill built near the so-called Gündelsbronnen on the Heimerdinger mark and moved the bans of an older grinding mill on the mark of Weissach there. In 1443 Count Ludwig von Württemberg gave the mill to Hänßlin Müller, Conrad Müller's son, for 7 pounds of Heller and 4 capons a year (oldest documented evidence).

After a long conflict with the miller, the community of Heimerdingen took over the business itself in 1550. During the Thirty Years War , the mill fell into disrepair. The rebuilding was done by the miller Hans Jakob Hecker, who bought it in 1676 for 115 guilders.

In 1833, the mill technical equipment consisted of three water wheels (two grinding stages, one tanning stage). In 1848 a third grinding process was set up. In March 1867 the mill and house burned down completely and were rebuilt the following year. In 1869 Müller Schüle received approval to set up a steam engine to supplement the water power. In 1904 the mill still had an 8 meter high and 0.61 wide overshot water wheel with a raw output of 7.91 HP at a water inflow of 70 l / s.

When a typhoid epidemic broke out in the summer of 1908 and 1909 , the contamination of the groundwater by the mill's farm was held responsible. Even if the community was subject to a miscalculation, the last miller, Johannes Schmid, had to give up the mill in 1909 and relocate to the town. The mill was converted into a pumping station by the general association of the Strohgäu water supply group and, after increasing the gradient, the water wheel was replaced by a hydrovolve, and in 1920 by a Francis turbine . The right to use water, which has not been exercised since 1956, expired in 1969. The mill canal (upper and lower canal) is filled. The mill building was still used as a residential building in the 1990s.
