Description and history

The mill building, a two-storey, steep gable roof with a half-timbered upper floor with five window axes along the length, was built in 1574 under Joachim Christoph von Lentersheim on the way from Stadeln to Wehlenberg. At the beginning of the 17th century (1608, 1612) the mill name erroneously appeared as "Eselmühl / Eßelmühl". In 1662 the exile Stephan Buckelmüller from Upper Austria held the mill as a subject from Lentersheim . In 1670 the mill with two grinding cycles and a saw was sold by the Lentersheim heiresses to the Margrave of Brandenburg . In a description from 1732 it is said that the "Neßel Mühl" and Wehlenberg make up a community and belong to the Margravial box office Gunzenhausen ; The mill is parish to (Alten-) Muhr, where the tithe also goes. The high Fraisch is exercised by the Oberamt Gunzenhausen. In the 18th century the mill was also a paper mill . Becoming Bavarian in 1806, it belonged to the tax district (and later municipality) Altenmuhr from 1808 .

In 1950, as in 1824 and 1929, five people lived in the mill. In 1951 the last water wheel was removed. In 1961 four people lived in the mill building. Under the miller Georg Kleesattel, the sawing business was discontinued in the 1960s, and the milling business was also discontinued in the early 1970s. Having become dilapidated and standing empty for a few years, the mill property was completely leveled after the outbuildings were demolished in 1977.

For a long time, a large linden tree, designated as a natural monument , the successor to an earlier judicial linden tree, marked the exact location of the missing mill, but this was felled in 2006 and has also disappeared today.
