Lottenmühle in Weimar in the direction of Paul-Schneider-Straße

Lottenmühle , located at Paul-Schneider-Straße 3, is a two-sided courtyard with a ground floor and an upper floor that opens onto Paul-Schneider-Straße in Weimar . The attic, in turn, has several dormer windows , but significantly fewer windows than the upper floor. The associated farm buildings no longer exist.

Its original function as a water mill has long since ceased to exist, but houses the Catholic rectory of the Sacred Heart Church opposite it . In the area of ​​the toilets there are still former millstones. It is located on the Lottenbach , where it got its name from. This brook, which once drove the mill, is ruined.

Its original construction is not in the Baroque period , from which the portal to Paul-Frölich-Platz can easily be deduced. It was first mentioned in 1378. In 1551 the Weimar council bought the mill and with it the property. In 1756 the building was rebuilt by Sebald Tobias Stock, as it has essentially been preserved today. The reference to the miller's trade can be recognized by the coat of arms on the house: with compasses and plumb bob and half a spur gear. It was a grain and oil mill. When Lottenmüller Adolph Knaut sold the mill to the Catholic parish in 1888, the latter's property came into their hands, which they converted into a parish and school house.

The new building erected in 1756 is about decor and stone coquina - Travertingebäude with door and window frames made of red sandstone . The baroque portal consists of a light gray, brown-speckled sandstone, which probably comes from Berka .

This building has been included in the list of cultural monuments in Weimar .

Varia

A maid named Maria Gertraude Schmidt from Lottenmühle was executed in 1753 for child murder . Almost three decades later, the Niedermühle's maid (from 1854 Karlsmühle) Johanna Catharina Höhn was also executed for child murder in 1783. This case, in turn, should deal with the question of the abolition of the death penalty in the Duchy of Saxony-Weimar-Eisenach .
