Maysack mill
The Maysacksche Mühle is a former mill in Neckarmühlbach in the Neckar-Odenwald district in northern Baden-Württemberg . It is one of the five historic mills in the Fünfmühlental .
location
The mill is located just before the Mühlbach joins the Neckar in Neckarmühlbach , at the exit of the Mühlbach valley cut deep into the terrain on the slope to the Neckar. The Schnepfenhardter Mühle is located above the Maysackschen mill in the Siegelsbach district .
history
The mill has been documented as a castle mill of the nearby Guttenberg Castle since 1357 . The mill was the ban mill of the respective castle lords. The mill has had its current appearance since the 18th century. The name goes back to Johannes Maysack (1763-1840), who was the last existing miller in service until 1808. In 1808 it was sold to the Baden state, which carried out brine drilling here until 1820 in vain . On February 28, 1820, Johannes Maysack bought the mill for his son Bernhard, which was badly damaged by the Neckar flood in 1824. A high water mark on the nearby former Gasthaus Schiff is evidence of this flood . A decorative cartouche above the portal of the mill bears the inscription Possessor BM 1829 (owner B [ernhard] M [aysack] 1829) and reminds of the renovation and the renewed commissioning. The Maysack family continued the mill business for five generations and did not stop until 1980. The mill was occasionally open for inspection on mill days. At Mühlentag 2007, the local researcher and last miller, Ludwig Maysack (1911–2008), gave a personal introduction to their history.
