Obere Mühle (Siebenmühlental)
The Obere Mühle is right at the entrance to the Siebenmühlental in Musberg , a district of Leinfelden-Echterdingen . It was first mentioned in 1383 as a Mohrenmühle . The Mohr family has owned and named it for over 200 years. It could have been created together with a no longer existing castle on the opposite side of the valley. After that it passed into the possession of different Stuttgarters, which in turn led to name changes. In the 17th century it was therefore called Laxenmühle. A coat of arms stone above the entrance still reminds of this today . The mill has been called Obere Mühle since the 18th century. After a fire, the mill was rebuilt as it can still be seen today. The Obere Mühle is one of the few solid tree mills and has a high hipped roof . At the beginning of the 20th century, the mill was stopped and it was used as a sawmill . In 1945 it was looted. After the Second World War, the mill was used for agriculture.
