The Radduscher Buschmühle is a former water mill in the village of Raddusch in the Spreewald, which belongs to the town of Vetschau / Spreewald .
location
The listed mill is located on the southern edge of the Spreewald, about two kilometers north of the center of Raddusch on the Südumfluter , which is also called Leineweberfließ here and in the section near Raddusch Grobla ( Lower Sorbian for "ditch"). The cucumber cycle path leads directly past the mill from Raddusch to Dubkow mill . The mill is no longer in operation.
history
In 1777 the bush mill was built on oak piles and served as a grain and oil mill . Like other institutions and villages in the Spreewald, the mill could only be reached by water. Until 1810 there was a compulsory meal in the Spreewald , which prescribed the farmers which mill they had to use. The farmers delivered their grain and waited for the flour. The mill was licensed . The grinding performance was paid for by the harlot , the sixteenth of the ground flour. In 1850 a wooden weir was built right next to the mill and a possibility to lock barges was created. Until 1880 the Buschmühle belonged to the Krüger family. In 1886 the mill building was rebuilt. The house was created as a massive construction. Instead of the previous reed roof, a tiled roof was put on. Ernst Ludwig Heinze bought the mill from a Stoyan family in April 1894. The superstitious miller Stoyan is said to have sold the mill because of a spook . Heinze uncovered the cause of the haunted by a peasant farmer who sent his servant to the mill to rumble there at night. This should make life difficult for the Stoyan and later Heinze families who had moved in.
In 1900 the production of linseed oil was stopped. In the same year Anna Heinze planted a magnolia at the mill , which became known locally. The mill's customers came mainly from Raddusch and Burg-Kolonie . Since the neighboring Dubkow mill was closed in 1919, they have also come from Leipe . In 1931 major modifications were made. Since the miller the impoundment rights was withdrawn, he equipped the mill from the water drive on a Deutz - Diesel engine to. The old grinder was also expanded. The mill house was extended by the Tristedt company from Lübbenau . The miller's children went to school in Raddusch, where they walked. A severe blow of fate struck the miller's family when the miller's one-and-a-half-year-old grandson drowned in the Grobla while the miller was supposed to be careful.
In 1935 Rudolf Heinze took over the mill from his father Ludwig Heinze. It was not until 1935 that the mill's era ended without connection to the normal road network. A path to Raddusch was built by the Reich Labor Service . In 1944 the mill lost its licensing rights, which had existed until then. At the end of the Second World War , many refugees gathered in the area around the mill to avoid the fighting in the impassable interior of the Spreewald. Members of the Heinzes from Frankfurt am Main had also fled to the seclusion of the mill before the bombing. In the last days of the war a Soviet officer was billeted in the mill for about a week.
Severe floods are recorded from the years 1926/27, 1930, 1932, 1939/40 and 1956.
On May 1, 1952, the mill officially ceased grinding operations. For the family's own needs, however, milling continued until 1999. The mill now only served as a residential building and was connected to electricity in 1955. In the same year the bridge over the Südumfluter located directly at the mill was renewed. In 1977 Rudolf Heinze, the last miller, moved out of the mill. Since then the facility has fallen into disrepair. In 2007 a new lock was built. The building was renovated from 2013 to 2015.
There are several legends and stories about the mill. Well known is the legend The luck of the poor bush mill owner , in which the bush miller is given gold.
