The Kienmühle (formerly also called Kindmühle) is a former grain and cutting mill on Altenkunstadter Mühlbach, a tributary of the Weismain , in today's Altenkunstadt . The sawmill is still run by the family today. The intact weir at the mill is particularly worth seeing.
history
The mill was first mentioned as "Kienmuel" in 1414. In 1801 the property was described by the Bamberg mathematics professor and topographer Johann Baptist Roppel as a "single mill with two grinding courses and one barley course, powered by the Weismain ". The three water wheels required for this are driven under- powered. The Dierauf family acquired the mill in 1920. They installed the cutting aisle and added a grain threshing to the mill . Using the cutting passage, the mill is still run as a family-owned sawmill.
