Haslenmühle
Haslenmühle is a district southwest of Gossau in the canton of St. Gallen in Switzerland .
It is named after a former mill , which is mentioned there in 1429 in the fief record of the Prince Abbey of St. Gallen . The underlying field name Haslen ( Haseloͮwe , from Hasel and Au , land on the water overgrown with hazel bushes ) is documented in 1345.
From 1838 the mill belonged to the Klingler family, who also owned the Klingmühle in Bischofszell and who advanced the use of water power in this area. A weir was built in the Wissbach after a hydroelectric power plant on the Dorfbach Gossau . The electricity generated there was transmitted to Haslenmühle via a three-kilometer above-ground power line. After a silo fire in Haslenmühle in 1934, a wooden tower was built instead of the old silo.
In 1947 almost the entire mill plant burned down. After another fire in 1959, Robert Klingler gave up the milling operation and sold his grain contingent to Ostschweizerische Mühlen AG .
