The Neumühle is a former grain , tale , fulling and cutting mill on Altenkunstadter Mühlbach, a tributary of the Weismain , in today's Altenkunstadt . As a monument it is protected by the Bavarian State Office for the Preservation of Monuments under the monument number D-4-78-111-12 .
history
It was first mentioned in the oldest Langheim land register from 1390 as "Muenchmuel". The name "Heroldsmuel" is from the year 1586, "Heroltzmuel" again around 1600 and later "Mönchmühle" again. Since the miller, together with that of the Steffelmühle , had to raise the wood for the maintenance of the gallows on the nearby Galgenberg, in 1586 it was also known as the “court mill”. During the Thirty Years' War , the mill, which at that time had a grain milling corridor as well as a tale and whale corridor , burned down. The mill was first mentioned under its current name "Neumühle" in 1742, based on its reconstruction after the Thirty Years' War.
In the 18th century it was rebuilt as a two-storey building, now with a grain milling, grain cutting and cutting passage . In 1801 the property was described by the Bamberg mathematics professor and topographer Johann Baptist Roppel as a grinding, tampering and cutting mill with three submerged water wheels as well as a barn and ancillary buildings.
architecture
Today's mill building was erected as a gable roof house in the 19th century over older structures. In the upper part of the gable, the old decorative framework made of St. Andrew's crosses with quarter-circle corners from the 17th or 18th century could be preserved. A large mill wheel is still turning on a wooden porch of the mill.
