The Kieselwitzer Mühle is located in the Brandenburg nature park Schlaubetal between Groß Briesen in the west and Kieselwitz in the east on the Schlaube . To the north of the mill are the Bremsdorfer Mühle and the three Treppelseen ( Großer , Kleiner and Stiller ), to the south of it the Wirchensee with the location of the Schlaubemühle .

Name interpretation

The root word kisaly = sour describes a place with acidic or wet soil in the Old Sorbian language . The name is derived from the suffix -ica Kyselica or Kyslovica . The eponymous place at the mill can be found for the first time on January 17, 1300 as villa Kyslicz , 1416 or 1426 as Kyslowicz , 1428 or 1438 Kyßilwicz, then in 1558 Kiselwiz .

There are willows and smaller pieces of alder - carr , this includes some species of ferns , sedges , marsh irises , Calla Lily , water springs and Lonicera Periclymenum .

The first record of the two-striped spring maiden south of the Bremsdorfer mill was remarkable .

history

Until 1945

The first written mention of the Kyslowicz mole dates back to 1420, when the grinder made 10 bushels of grain every quarter for the Neuzelle monastery . After the Thirty Years War it was also used as a cutting mill. After it burned down completely in 1659, a mill was built on this site again with the support of the Order Master of the Friedland Order Office .

The miller was the mill master Michael Güloff in 1710 , his family stayed until 1850, but there is news in 1711 that the hereditary miller Johann (Hanß) Müller was sitting at the Kieselwitzer mill and that the mill remained in the family until at least 1789. It can therefore be assumed that the millers divided up the trades . In the 19th century the mill was also equipped with three cloth roughening machines.

Between 1903 and 1911 the mill was bought by the alleged millionaire Oswald . He had workers come from Italy who rebuilt the pond system and created individual fish ponds, and a concrete channel system was built for the irrigation system . In order to successfully start trout farming, he bought the stocking fish in the USA . In 1908 there were 15 ponds with an area of ​​around 15 hectares at the Schlaube. The ponds were one to two meters deep and were used for commercial fishing. After the mill owner Oswald lent money to other entrepreneurs without sufficient collateral, he went bankrupt himself after they went bankrupt. The mill changed hands several times until 1928. Managed by Friedrich Hinz in 1919, the owners Karras , Josef Möllenbrink and Karschinski followed . In addition to the mill, they cultivated asparagus and raised trout in order to survive the inflationary period . Wilhelm (Willi) Kleeschulte bought the mill property in 1928 and managed it until 1943. He ceased milling operations in 1930. In the 1930s the sawmill was shut down and the mill was converted into a restaurant with an outdoor dance floor . Until the end of the Second World War , the entire property was leased to Alwin Schulze .

After 1945

After the end of the war, as everywhere, the mill property with the ponds was pulled in and made public property. Ernst Gürtler leased the property in 1950, continued the inn and cultivated a few acres of land in addition to the trout farm . The gastronomic use took place until around 1958. In September 1959 VEB inland fishing took over the Kieselwitzer mill and Hubert Gürtler , son of the previous leaseholder , was given management of the business until 1980. The premises of the former restaurant were converted into a residential building (1969–1970) that was available to the workforce.

The newly built facilities of the inter-company facility ZBE Satzfischproduktion Frankfurt (Oder) , based in Müllrose , which have been breeding trout saplings on an industrial scale since 1972 and raised up to a weight of 15 to 25 grams , produced around ten percent of the rainbow trout fattened in the GDR in 1979 . The necessary fertilized eggs came from the Trout Breeding Center in Potsdam . The newly built breeding facility at the Bremsdorfer Mühle also received around 2.3 million stocking fish from here every year. In addition to rainbow trout, brown trout were also produced.

In 1991 the Treuhandanstalt took over the operation of the ZBE set fish production, from which the Schlaubefisch eG emerged. Hubert Gürtler and his son Frank became the owners of the Kieselwitzer Mühle in 1996. They manage 20 ponds with an area of ​​15 hectares, still as a commercial fisherman, and among other things breed carp. In 2008 there were only 34 carp breeders in the Brandenburg State Fisheries Association .
