The box mill (formerly also Rinnmühle ) is a former grain and cutting mill in Weismain . In earlier times it was one of the largest buildings in Weismain. The Bavarian State Office for the Preservation of Monuments identified the box mill as a monument and lists it under the number D-4-78-176-50 .
history
The first clear written evidence of this mill is a letter of inheritance from 1445. The miller master Fritz Müller received this from Bishop Anton von Rotenhan . In 1496, a cutting tunnel was built into the mill for the existing grain grinding tunnel . Probably in an outbuilding, the mill was equipped with a walkway in 1560 by Pankratz Rinnmüller († 1591) . In 1596 the mill was expanded to include a tunnels that were used to grind the bark for the local tanners. In 1615 the mill was rebuilt. The number of waterwheels was increased to five, of which until at least 1864 three mills and the other two each driven a cutting and a pointed gear. With its numerous outbuildings, the mill has been one of Weismain's largest building complexes since the end of the Middle Ages.
The use of the mill was given up in 1989, the mill building now serves as a residential building. A Francis turbine is used to generate electricity in the old Mühlbach. Behind the old mill building there is an overshot sawmill that was in operation from 1989 to 2000.
architecture
The box mill is a two-story building with a hipped roof. The building, erected in its current form at the beginning of the 19th century, has a massive ground floor and an upper floor in half-timbered construction , which is, however, plastered. The Mühlkanal flows out from under the building and disappears again under the street after about five meters.
Others
- In the box mill, the timber for the Weismainer Kastenhof, built from 1701–1703 according to plans by Leonhard Dientzenhofer, was sawn.
