history
In 1567 the Winsen bailiff Christoph von Hodenberg converted the farming village of Holm into a manor and probably also built a flour mill on the Seeve. A mill was first mentioned in 1615. A dispute with the Bendestorf miller Tamke is documented. In 1638 Gut Holm and the mill were transferred to the Schenk von Winterstedt. In 1698 a miller was first mentioned in a document. A Hans Lindemann was registered as the tenant of the Holmer Mühle for two generations. In 1757 the mill was completely destroyed as part of the fighting between Duke Ferdinand of Braunschweig and the French. In 1758 the landlord, Baron Ludwig Schenk von Winterstedt (1715–1762), had the mill rebuilt. In 1770 the mill tenant changed; Three generations of the Stramann family followed Gerdau. Christian Ludwig Friedrich Schenk von Winterstedt, the last male heir to the Holm estate, died in 1838. The state of Hanover moved in the "mansion in the male line". In 1868 the compulsory meal was officially lifted. Approx. In 1870 the state of Hanover sold the estate. The owners followed in quick succession: Von Alten , Otto Ude and Heinrich Knauer. Heinrich Knauer had a sawmill built on the northern bank of the Seeve in 1874. From around 1862 to 1877 Georg Johann Christoph Fuhrkamp was a mill tenant. 1841–1918 J. Diedrich Chr. Dittmer (related by marriage to Fuhrkamps) and from 1844 to around 1901 Georg AAH Albrecht. In 1889 the former tenant Wilhelm Frank bought the Holm estate. From 1895 to 1927 Otto Hugo Oehlke was a mill tenant.
In 1938 the Kohrs family acquired the Holm estate, after 1945 refugees were quartered in the living quarters. Heinrich Brockmann was the leaseholder of the sawmill until 1963. In 1975 the mill was cleared out and emergency repairs took place. In 1977 a license agreement was signed between Jürgen Kohrs, Gut Holm, and the history and museum association Buchholz und Umgebung eV. In 1980, the undermined foundations on the Seeve were secured, a bed was poured and an abutment made of water concrete was built in the middle of the river for the water wheel. A water wheel was made. On the first day of Easter in 1981, the new mill wheel turned for the first time and the upper floor was inaugurated. In 1993 a steel water wheel was installed. In 1996 a concert grand was inaugurated on the upper floor. In 2003 the Seeve entertainment and landscape maintenance association built a fish ladder parallel to the mill weir in the Seeve ; in the same year the club members renewed the footbridge in front of the weir. In 2012 the channel in front of the water wheel was rebuilt by members of the association.
