The Neumühle is an abandoned part of the municipality of Thannhausen in the former Central Franconian district of Gunzenhausen . Today the area lies in the middle of the Kleiner Brombachsee in the municipality of Pfofeld ( Weißenburg-Gunzenhausen district ). Despite the lack of development today, Neumühle is an official district of Pfofeld.

location

The Neumühle was located on the Brombach, southeast of Absberg, in the area of ​​today's Kleiner Brombachsee and northeast of today's nature reserve “ Peninsula in the Kleiner Brombachsee ”. Neighboring mills that were also lost due to the construction of the reservoir were the Scheermühle (Thannhausen) and the Öfeleinsmühle . The district road from Gunzenhausen to Spalt passed the Neumühle ; A road branched off from the district road at the mill, which ran over the Öfeleinsmühle to Ramsberg .

history

The mill was first mentioned in 1310 when, on July 25th of this year, Konradus / Chunrat von Absberg (1266-1329), with the consent of his wife Elisabeth, created the “niwe mvl” (= Neumühle) “an der Pramach (= Brombach) niderthalbe der Schaere ( = Scheermühle) ”together with the mill pond to the Teutonic Order Coming Ellingen . According to place name researcher Robert Schuh, the name "new mill" mentioned in the first document from 1310 could indicate that it was the youngest of the mills located on the Brombach (and belonging to the municipality of Thannhausen). 1412 is called “Haincz der Newmulner an der Pranbach” as the subject of the Teutonic Order, who, having moved away from his mill “at an unreasonable time”, had to return to the mill after an arbitration award of May 13th of the same year.

To the Kommende Ellingen the "Newmühl" was vogt at the latest since the early 17th century (document from 1608) - and valid ; According to a document from 1612, the Fraisch was disputed between the Teutonic Order and the Margrave-Ansbach Office of Gunzenhausen. For 1732, we learn that the German Medal mill according Absberg gepfarrt and the tenth part of the local Parish; the Vogtei inner Ettern is perceived by the Teutonic Order in Ellingen, while the high Fraisch is now clearly with the Margravial Oberamt Gunzenhausen.

In 1792 the wasteland with the Margraviate of Ansbach became Prussian . At the end of the Holy Roman Empire , she went with the former Principality of Ansbach as a result of Reichsdeputationshauptschluss circuit 1806 to the new Kingdom of Bavaria on where they in the District Court / Rentamt Gunzenhausen in 1808 the tax district Absberg, 1811 the Rural Municipality Absberg and from 1818, the Rural Municipality Thannhausen was incorporated .

In 1925 Karl Vollmer's Neumühle passed to the Decker family from Hüttenbach, who gave up the grinding business in 1959 and only used the mill to produce grist for agriculture and to generate electricity for their own needs, until the property was passed on to the Free State of Bavaria for the construction of the Kleiner Brombachses was bought up in the 1970s / 1980s.
