history

16th to 19th century

The residential area was first mentioned in 1546 as the little Molle and for many centuries belonged to the Schenk von Landsberg family , who in 1437 granted the town of Teupitz town charter and town seals. The residential area never had its own church, but was always parish in Teupitz. The faithful could visit the Holy Spirit Church there, built in 1346 . The name changed to Kleine Mühle in 1644 . In 1624 the little miller had a bike and had to pay taxes to the Landsberg taverns. In 1711 these amounted to two talers and 18 groschen. In the same year, the Schenkenländchen and with it the small mill was sold to the Prussian royal family and came under the rule of the Teupitz and Buchholz offices . A watermill with one gear and a cutting mill has survived from 1743. There was also a jug in the village . In 1801 a water grinding and cutting mill with a fireplace (= household) appeared again. According to the topography of the lower courts of the Kurmark Brandenburg and the associated parts of the country, it belonged to a mill master Gericke in 1837 . Two more houses were added by 1840. In 1849 the jurisdiction changed from the Buchholz regional and city court to the court deputation in Mittenwalde (1879 to 1952 Mittenwalde district court). In 1858 two part-time farmers worked in the Hohen Mühle, employing a maid and three workers. They managed one estate up to 24 acres in size and another estate up to four acres in size. There is also an official from that year. Two years later there is a report of a water mill with lime kiln. At that time there were two residential and seven farm buildings. A total of 16 acres of arable land, four acres of meadow, four acres of pasture and another four acres of garden land were cultivated. In the middle of the 19th century, the mill was owned by a Mr. Beyer, who took part in a general meeting of German pomologists, fruit and vegetable growers and the associated exhibition , which took place in Berlin from October 2 to 9, 1860. In the Government Gazette in Potsdam from 1876 stipulates that "no-Communal associations previously nationals, located at Tornow Establishment High Mill " was assigned to the district Tornow.

20th and 21st centuries

In 1904, the Hohe Mühle received a renewed license for a pub. It developed into a popular excursion destination until the 1940s. For example, the Märkische Bienen-Zeitung informed its readers about a hiking meeting that had its starting point at the Hohe Mühle in Teupitz; subsequent steamship trip included. After the end of the Second World War , the mill was stopped. The Reichsbahn took over the building, then from 1977 to 1990 the Academy of Sciences of the GDR .
