Ping mill
Today the Pingermühle is part of the Upper Palatinate town of Pleystein in the Neustadt an der Waldnaab district ; The Vöslesrieth hammer used to exist here, followed by a mill, a sawmill and, until the middle of the 20th century, a glass loop . All of these works were driven by the water of the Zottbach .
history
In 1454 the “Hammerfeld Fesslersried” is mentioned in the Salbuch of the Pleystein rule. In the muster list of 1561 it is confirmed that the hammer master appeared at Vöslesrieth with weapons and armor. The mill belonging to the hammer was owned by the miller Ebert. On December 14th, 1518, the Landgrave of Leuchtenberg Johann IV bought the interest from the Hammerstatt Vöslesrieth together with the hammers Peugenhammer and Pfrentsch from the heirs of Hans Windisch zu Pleystein. In 1560 only the Pingermühle is reported, so the hammer may have been discontinued and converted into a mill. In 1627 there was a Michael Schaller zu Vöslesrieth in the bill of the Hofmark Miesbrunn , who had to pay six shillings interest from the "old Hammerstatt Vöslesrieth" .
A Hans Pinger von Vöslesrieth is said to have built the first mill on the old Hammerstatt on the Zott; This place is still named after him, in 1549 the "Pyngermühl" was mentioned in the Pleystein tax register. In 1560 Konz Kermüller was the owner, in 1572 Lienhard Stengl was named as the owner. On August 21, 1584, with the consent of the Pleysteienr nurse Sebastian von Brand, he sold the mill with all affiliations to Niklas Groß zu Stefling . His heirs sold the property to Hans Groß in 1627.
During the destruction during the Thirty Years' War , Croats under Colonel Marco Corpes also devastated the Pingermühle in 1634. Two years later, Hans Groß was unable to live on the mill, but he had set up a grinder again. There was no work available and so he could not give up the fattening pig as an annual donation to the rulers and in 1636 asked for the taxes to be waived. He settled in Pleystein and leased his property to Christoph Hartung von Waldthurn . In 1650 Helene Spannerbock owned the mill, she was the widow of Gerhard Spannerbock, a Pleystein nurse. Her son-in-law Wilhelm Damourmeister, caretaker of Pleystein, sold the mill in her name on March 22nd, 1652 to Georg Piehler, existing miller from the Grubmühle zu Waldthurn. According to the contract, the miller had to keep a bridge open for general traffic behind the Zott. The Piehler family held the mill for 200 years; On November 24th, 1861 Theresia Piehler married Matthias Balk, the owner of Rammelsleuten (today a district of Pleystein). He sold his estate to Rammelsleuten and moved to the ping mill. He was a very active entrepreneur and ran a sawmill, a grinding and polishing plant and agriculture in addition to the mill . In 1867 he also built an iron turning shop . The factory remained in the possession of the Balk family until 1920, on February 7, 1920 Albert Balk sold his property to the J. Bach company. On March 14, 1934, Edwin Bach had to sell the grinding and polishing plant as well as the property to the city of Pleystein, which in turn sold the entire property on to the Bausch-Werke oHG company on May 10, 1941. After the war, Edwin Bach asserted that as a Jew during the Nazi era , he had been forced to sell his property to the city of Pleystein at a lower price. In a 20-year procedure, Edwin Bach's claims were ultimately rejected and on April 1, 1968, the restitution notes entered on the property were deleted from the land register.
Today there is only the mill building in the village of Pingermühe, which can be hiked along the 80 km long glass cutter path that leads from Pleystein to Moosbach , Saubersrieth , Eslarn , Waidhaus , Georgenberg and back to Pleystein.
Construction
The mill's house , which dates back to the 18th century and is a listed building, has been preserved. This is a two-storey hipped roof building with stone frames .
