geography

history

The mill belonged to the Birgittenkloster Gandenberg and is mentioned for the first time in 1435 as a gift from the Count Palatine Johann von Neumarkt to the monastery. During the Thirty Years War it was burned down by the Swedes together with the monastery in 1635. The miller at that time was called Conrad Haberman; the family had been at the mill for some time. The mill building that stands today was built 200 m south of the destroyed mill in 1700/01. In 1713 a Christopher Spitz appears as a miller; the property is still owned by the Spitz family today. In 1857 the mill also had a saw that was still in operation at the beginning of the 20th century. In addition to the normal grind, the mill had a madder gear in the 19th century, with which the madder plant was ground to its red color. A power generator was added in the 20th century, which also supplied the area with electricity. Since the Schwarzach flood in 1964, the medium- sized iron mill wheel with a diameter of 6 m has not turned any more. The mill ditch was filled in in 1970 when the Nuremberg-Regensburg motorway was being built. In 2004 the "Klostermühlenmuseum Gnadenberg" with the original, functional grinder was opened by the Kulturhistorisches Verein Gnadenberg e. V. opened.

Towards the end of the Old Kingdom , around 1800, when the Spitz family owned the mill property half the size of a yard, the property was under the Gnadenberg monastery judge of the Salesian Sisters of St. Anna in Munich. The Haimburg Nursing Office, which was last run in personal union with the Pfaffenhofen Nursing Office, exercised high jurisdiction .

In the new Kingdom of Bavaria (1806) the mill belonged to the Oberölsbach tax district , and when the community was formed around 1810/20 it belonged to the Oberölsbach community, which in addition to Oberölsbach and the Klostermühle also included Reichenholz , Unterölsbach , Gnadenberg and the Irleshof . This community was initially subordinate to the Pfaffenhofen regional court , then to the Kastl regional court in the Velburg district office . As part of the regional reform in Bavaria , the municipality of Oberölsbach and thus also the Klostermühle was incorporated into Berg on May 1, 1978.
