Hessenmühle (Karbach)
The Hessenmühle (formerly Evangelistenmühle ) is a former mill and part of the Karbach market in Lower Franconia .
history
In 1702 the mill was operated by Hans Jörg Brandstein and his wife Barbara. Since 1719 by Andreas Gerhart and his wife Gertrud, who married Jakob Dehn from Hofstetten after the death of her husband in 1731. In 1763, the municipality of Karbach was in the fortunate position of not having to levy any municipal tax.
The annual taxes on Ludwigsmühle house no. 232 and house no. 233 amounted to 17.24 M. What these were due to, resulted from the following records. The owners of the two lower valley mills, house no. 232 and house no. 233, verifiably paid one Malter grain to the community of Karbach every year from 1763 onwards. This realm did not rest on the Mühlrecht, but on the land of the two properties. "The mill under the Karbacher Holtz in the Zimmerner Thal" was built in 1687 on the parish of Karbach by the parish property "unterm Haegholz" moving down to the ditch and the parish to the Mühlbauer land against the annual fee of 1 painter Left grain.
The mill was owned by Jakob Dehn from Hofstetten with his wife Gertrud in 1772. Gerhart. Between 1779 and 1792 there were two changing owners named Amend and Funsch . In 1792 Michael Ludwig from Lohr am Main bought the mill and married Anna Väthröder from house no. 93 in Karbach. Their son Johann Evangelist Ludwig took over the mill in 1820 together with Margareta Weidner from Unterleinach, sold the mill in 1826 for 3700 florins to his brother-in-law Andreas Tauberschmitt (i.e. Schmitt from the Taubertal) and his wife Maria Anna from Hafenlohr (Baden). In 1827, Johann Evangelist Ludwig built the lower-lying mill next door to the south. He inherited the land from his father with Mühlrecht. This mill was passed on to the son of the same name, Johann Evangelist Ludwig (married to Margareta Haas from Steinfeld) in 1864. The couple bought the property house no. 232 in 1879 and two mills were set up there. At the same time, the above-mentioned load was distributed in such a way that the mill
- House No. 232 = 3 Metzen 4 ½ Mäslein
- House no. 233 = 1 Meat 10 ½ Mäslein
- 4 Metzen gave 15 Mäslein or a Rothenfelser Kornmalter to the community.
The changes caused by the political situation in Bavaria in 1848, and the associated technical advances, gradually led to the fact that the Bachmühlen lost sales and thus significantly in value. The miller's families, often used to great personal effort, did not want to adapt to these changed circumstances. Rescue was sought and believed to be found by tearing out the simple old German mill equipment with its rattling mechanism and millstones and using expensive small art mills with roller frames and pumping stations.
In 1856 the mill was taken over by the son Matthäus Tauberschmitt (married to Maria Anna Müller from Marktheidenfeld) and in 1873 with Katharina Luger, who married as a widow.
Since around 1860, this kingdom was no longer paid in kind by the ancestors, but with the following sums annually
- House No. 232 = 11 m. 47 Pfg.
- House No. 233 = 5 m. 77 Pfg.
In 1879 the mill was bought by the owner of the neighboring mill, house no. 233, Johann Evangelist Ludwig - hence the name "Evangelist mill", which was common until 1910.
As long as there were no art mills in the region (e.g. in Lohr and Wertheim) and the Bach millers could count on loyal farmers and bakeries as customers, small-scale milling was a profitable business. A number of mills in the Karbachertal also had so-called “ban rights” - that is, certain farmers who were subject to feudal duties were forced by their feudal lords to only have a certain mill milled.
In 1896 her son Georg Ludwig (married to Lidwina Schubert from Karbach house no. 42) took over the mill. The neighbors Ludwig and Tauberschmitt led lengthy lawsuits with each other because of border registration and water law and both mills were a very popular excursion destination for dieters at the then ruling court (later Rothenfels district court), to which the unpaid legal interns mostly belonged
In 1903 the millers fell into unimagined debts. The Evangelist Mill House No. 232 u. 233 was encumbered with 35,000 marks in April 1903 and was publicly auctioned off by the reg. Notary on June 15, 1903 at the instigation of the main creditors ( Creditverein Marktheidenfeld and Bayerische Hypotheken- und Wechselbank Munich ). The two properties house no. 232 and 233 went bankrupt. A consortium headed by businessman Moses Tannenwald sold both properties to Dr. Römheld, senior physician at the Heppenheim insane asylum, who had the mill removed and set up a summer retreat for himself.
In 1904 the milling operation was stopped.
In 1917 the mill went into the possession of the manufacturer Gustav Böhm from Offenbach am Main and his wife Ella nee. Heister from Mainz over.
