The mill in the hamlet is in Blumegg-Weiler in the lowest side valley of the Weilergraben creek to the Wutach Gorge between the villages of Blumegg and Grimmelshofen in the town of Stühlingen in the Waldshut district .

history

The mill was built in the 13th century under the von Blumegg family . The monastery of St. Blasien acquired the mill in the 15th century . In an emergency, the monastery was looted by Hans von Krenkingen and his journeymen in 1436, the monastery sold the mill in 1436 to the noble Thuringian II von Hallwyl and Friedrich von Wartenberg, abbot of the Reichenau monastery . In 1457 Abbot Nikolaus Stocker bought the property back. In 1732 Leonz Rendler is the first named miller. From 1856 the Bausch family became the owners of the mill. In 1927 it was extensively expanded. The Bausch family ran it until 1939.

Mill technology

The mill has three mill wheels, several grinders and a tamper or Poche for tamping plaster of paris, fruits or bones, primarily for fertilization. The gypsum stamp was set up in 1927 when gypsum mining in the area experienced a brief heyday, see also: Gipsmuseum Schleitheim .

Repair

In 2002 the mill was completely restored with the support of the German Foundation for Monument Protection and the State Monument Authority of Baden-Württemberg . There are expert demonstrations and guided tours.
