The Neumühle is a grain mill on the Glems in Schwieberdingen . It bears its name due to the relatively late construction in the years 1844/1845. Its builder, Christian Siegle, was a miller at the Bruckmühle until 1843. The mill has always been called the valley mill because it is about a kilometer below the village on the Glems.
The mill uses a 350 m long canal branched off to the left of the Glems. Originally it was powered by two water wheels. In the 19th century it was rebuilt and expanded several times. In 1903 it belonged to Friedrich Moll and was powered by three overshot water wheels. They had a diameter of 4.40 m, 4.26 m and 4.16 m and a width of 1.20 m, 1.30 m and 0.60 m. They used a slope of 5 m and delivered a raw power of 18.7 hp with a water inflow of 280 l / s. In 1926 Otto Cantz replaced the three water wheels with a Francis turbine with an output of 19 hp. In 1937 a crude oil engine with 16 hp was installed to support the hydropower and in 1948 a second Francis turbine with 25.5 hp was installed.
The mill has been owned by the Cantz family since 1925. It is still operated with hydropower today. Part of the energy generated is fed into the EnBW power grid. The mill works with three roller mills and has a grinding capacity of two tons per day. The flour is ground from grain of the region according to old tradition. The mill has a mill shop.
