The Letzleinsmühle is a former water mill and a district of the Gnotzheim market in the central Franconian district of Weißenburg-Gunzenhausen in Bavaria .

location

The property is located just north of Gnotzheim at an altitude of 452 m above sea ​​level on the Wurmbach , also called Gnotzheimer Mühlgraben here . The Mühlweg, which branches off from federal highway 466 towards the west , leads to the former mill .

Place name interpretation

The place name researcher Robert Schuh interpreted the name as "Mill of a Letzleins", whereby he could not prove a mill owner of this name.

history

The age of the mill has not been recorded, but it certainly existed in the 17th century. In the Salbuch of the Oettingschen Amt Spielberg , which was created after 1657, three mills are listed under Gnotzheim: the Rangmühle , the Simonsmühle and another mill, only referred to as “mühl”, probably today's Letzleinsmühle. A map from 1739 shows the mill symbol at the site of the present mill without a detailed description. A document from 1833 states that the Letzleinsmühle with real mill justice , consisting of a grinding and tanning process , is owned by Anton Linse, who took it over from his mother in 1798.

At the end of the Holy Roman Empire of the German Nation it was said that the subject family on the mill was subordinate to the Oberamt and High Court of Spielberg and belonged to the Catholic parish of Gnotzheim. In 1806 the mill came to the Kingdom of Bavaria and in 1808 it was added to the Gnotzheim tax district in the Heidenheim district court , to which Gnotzheim, Spielberg, Weilerau and the Simonsmühle also belonged. This tax district was converted into the rural community Gnotzheim in 1811 . In 1818 it became a market town . In 1842 Gnotzheim became an independent rural community with the two mills and Weilerau, leaving Spielberg. The regional reform in Bavaria did not change anything about this - except that Spielberg was again incorporated into Gnotzheim on April 1, 1971, and the Gnotzheim community and with it the Letzleinsmühle since July 1, 1972 in the enlarged Weißenburg-Gunzenhausen district (originally known as the Weißenburg district in Bavaria ).
