history
In the 12th century, the brothers of the Order of St. John in Friedland founded a water mill on the Schlaube . For centuries the Schlaube here formed a natural border between the Order of St. John Official Friedland and the pin area Neuzelle .
The Mixdorffsche mill was founded in 1508 by the family of goiters (Streumen) , which is also in possession of the good Ragow acquired was, and now was named Ragower mill .
Mentioned as a grain mill around 1670, it was also used as a cutting mill from 1743 , as the miller Johann Heinrich Schauer (Schur) acquired and expanded the mill, which until then had paid interest as a fief of the estate in Ragow . In the following years the Schur family , who owned the mill until 1926, added a tube mill to it .
Today's two-storey mill building was built around 1810, the mill itself, which was used as a saw and oil mill until it was shut down in 1968 , was given new technical equipment around 1920: a grinder , a squeezer , a plansifter , cleaning ( aspirator , trieur , peeling machine ), a mixer , a hexagonal sifter , a dissolver , an elevator , a drive via a Francis turbine with a standing shaft.
In 1873 the mill was champion Ernst Schur granted approval, the 10 acres large mill land from the district Ragow, then district Beeskow-Storkow in the district Tschernsdorf , district Guben to let embarrassed.
The general economic situation forced the Schur family to sell and the Berlin industrialist Paul Schenk became the new owner . The Schenk family was at the end of World War II, dispossessed and in February 1946 was under the land reform the land of Ragower mill divided. The mill supplied flour until 1951 , electricity was generated via the paddle wheel by means of turbines until 1964 and the grist mill was operated until 1968, which was shut down in the same year as a result of government decisions of the GDR .
In the 1980s, the mill was added to the list of monuments of the Eisenhüttenstadt-Land district as a technical monument and the roof of the building was re-roofed. The residential buildings of the now listed mill were used for a children's camp of the VEB Kraftverkehr Frankfurt (Oder) .
The state forestry company in Müllrose began restoring the living area in 1987 ; unfortunately, in 1989 the red brick stable was partially torn down .
With the sale of the mill to the Börner couple , the complete renovation of the mill began in 2000 . The entire interior was preserved and the mill became an inn .
As part of an ABM and SAM measure initiated by the Federal Employment Agency , the JUMP-gGmbH Youth with Perspective 2001/2002 was commissioned with the restoration and repair of the “Ragower Mühle” as a technical monument for the establishment of a mill museum . In 2006 the drive via the Francis turbine was restored, and demonstrations are now possible again on special occasions such as the German Milling Day .
