history
The mill was first mentioned in connection with Heuchlingen Castle in 1222 and shares its history for a long time. The castle and mill were burned down during the city war and were given to the Teutonic Order together in 1506 . The mill was then a ban mill for the subjects of seven associated Teutonic Order villages. From the time after 1670, numerous letters of fief for millers have been preserved, each of which was issued for three years, with the individual millers mostly running the mill for a longer period of time. In 1781 the mill weir was renewed, and it was reported that the first weir had stood for 440 years, the last 107 years.
With the secularization of the Teutonic Order in 1805, Heuchlingen Castle came to the Kingdom of Württemberg, and the mill was sold to private owners. Miller David Bauer built an oil mill with hemp grater in 1834 , and a grinding mill was added later. In 1866 the mill ban was lifted. In 1879, Müller Heinrich Zipp had the oil mill, the hemp grater and the grinding mill torn down again and converted the mill into an art mill with a spill wheel . In 1924/25 the BAG Jagstfeld acquired the entire mill area. In 1934 the mill received a Francis turbine with an output of 155 hp, which was replaced by a shaft turbine in 1959.
Today, wheat and rye are mainly ground in the mill, and there are eleven double roller mills and two high-performance plansifters available. The daily capacity is 60 tons. After the mill's turbine had already supplied electricity to the public grid, an additional hydropower plant was built on the mill weir in recent years, with an output of 1.2 million kilowatt hours.
