history

At least since the 14th century, the mill was owned by the Abbey of St. Walburg of Benedictine nuns in Eichstatt : The oldest Klostersalbuch of 1360 it is listed as "mill Brunitzermüllner at the chambers". In the 15th century the mill was referred to as “Steigmüll ad Meren” (path from Treuchtlingen to Haag and Rehlingen) and in the 17th century it was called “Prenneisenmül”. In 1654 a Jörg Wahlmüller sits on the "Matdmül", which is what the current name suggests. In a document from 1667, however, it says again that the "Brenneisenmühl" must pay taxes to the Ansbach margravial administration office in Treuchtlingen for the bailiwick . In later documents the mill is called alternately "Mattenmühle" or "Brenneisenmühle"; In 1730 a Johann Oßwaldt is sitting on it. At the end of the Holy Roman Empire , the St. Walburg Monastery still had the mill in its property lists; the bailiwick was a right of the Prussian, formerly Brandenburg-Ansbach administrative office Treuchtlingen since 1791/91, the high jurisdiction held the rule Pappenheim .

With the former Ansbach principality, the mill came to the Kingdom of Bavaria in 1805/06 and there in 1808 to the Treuchtlingen tax district in the Heidenheim district court . When the municipality of Treuchtlingen was formed in 1818, the Mattenmühle again belonged to it. In 1857 she came to the municipality of Haag , which was assigned to the Pappenheim district court and the Weißenburg rent office at the same time as the Treuchtlingen market ; In 1862 the Weißenburg District Office was formed, which was transformed into a district in 1939. In the course of the regional reform in Bavaria , the municipality of Haag "near Treuchtlingen" (name addition since 1927) was incorporated into Treuchtlingen on January 1, 1972. A smaller part of this community came to Langenaltheim.

In 1910 the sawing operation of the mill was stopped; the flour mill is only used for personal use. Agriculture is a sideline.

The mill and farmhouse, a two-storey saddle roof building in Jura construction with knee stick, from the 18th / 19th centuries. Dating back to the century, and the neighboring house with barn, a ground-floor saddle roof building with knee-high floor, are entered in the Bavarian list of monuments.
