The Reckmühle - an old mill location in the municipality of Allershausen in the Freising district - is no longer a grinding mill today , but a hydroelectric power plant with a sawmill and the associated timber trade. The location on the Glonn - a little upstream from Allershausen - was probably occupied by a mill since the Middle Ages. In 2017 the Müller family has owned the mill property, which is a protected monument , for 200 years . The origin of the mill owners - i.e. the miller's family with the name Müller - can be traced back to the 17th century.

history

Reckmühle, residential building from 1646 with a newly designed portal from 1950

As early as 843, a mill in Ried ( Reodesen ad Adalhareshusen ), which was later called Hanried , was mentioned in a document as a donation to the Freising Monastery . This probably refers to the mill acquired by Amperwerke Elektrizitätsaktiengesellschaft München in 1933 (house no. 34, Kienberger Str. 9 in Allershausen itself), which had belonged to the widow Kreszenz Heinritzi since 1927; it was completely demolished in 1996 by Isar-Amperwerke AG.

But the Reckmühle in Oberallershausen (house no. 20) has probably been around since the Middle Ages. During the Thirty Years' War the mill was burned down by the Swedes in 1632 and only rebuilt in the Baroque style in 1646 . The roof structure of the residential building that still exists today shows this year. Externally, the baroque tail gable also indicates this era. The Reckmühle belonged to the Hofmark Weihenstephan , which was dissolved with the secularization in 1802/03. All possessions of the monastery went to the Bavarian state or were sold to private owners.

Owner in the 17th / 18th century

  • Around 1668 Martin Preitenaicher, landlord, buys the newly built mill from the landlord for 2,200 guilders
  • 1669, June 6th: Georg Gschwendner through marriage of the widow Preitenaicher
  • 1717, November 29th: Martin Gschwendner, taking over from his father, marries Katharina Scheyrl
  • 1746, February 4th: Katharina Gschwendner marries Johann Aumiller
  • 1791, January 21: Son Johann Georg Aumüller takes over from his father and marries Magdalena Bachmayer

Owner in the 19th / 20th century

Wollmetshofen - Leonhardt Müller from Horgau bought the mill there in 1683
Sägmühle Horgau - this is what this former monument looked like in 2012
  • 1809, April 13th: Ignaz Enzinger from Schwaig married Magdalena Aumüller, the widow of Johann Georg Aumüller
  • Spring 1817: Exchange of the inn property belonging to Benedikt Müller in Helfenbrunn with the Reckmühle of Ignaz Enzinger.

The widower Benedikt Müller thus acquired the run-down mill and married Maria Wildgruber from Hörgenbach on May 30, 1817, Dachau district court. Since then, the Reckmühle has remained in the ownership of this Müller family. Benedict Müller (* March 15, 1776) had 16 years as head miller in Palzing worked, then the inn in helping Brunn, a district of around 1800 Kirchdorf an der Amper , bought and his first wife, the innkeeper's daughter Magdalena Gschwendner from Tünzhausen married, the Died in 1817, leaving him a widower with two children.

  • The miller's house is rented today

  • In 1907 it was no longer a pure grinding mill

  • The millstone is now a reminder of 1752

Ancestors of the first Benedikt Müller

Benedikt Müller came from a family of millers in Oberhausen an der Ilm (today part of Petershausen ), which has owned the mill there since 1752. Benedikt Müller's grandfather, Johann Müller, married into this mill property, namely, he took Maria, the widow of the late miller Philipp Parth, as his wife. Johann Müller came from Wollmetshofen an der Schmutter, where his ancestors had been a miller southwest of Augsburg since 1683, when a Leonhardt Müller from Horgau bought the mill.

Functional change in the mill

The new sawing hall

The mill estate, which the first Benedikt Müller had brought to bloom again at the beginning of the 19th century, was always a farm with servants , animal husbandry and private forest until the second half of the 20th century . After the Second World War, the “mill dying” of the 20th century began around 1960, which was even subsidized by the state and obliged the small grinding mills to stop in return for compensation payments. In the Reckmühle - since agriculture proved to be not very profitable - the operation was first converted to turbine drive and later transformed into a pure sawmill with timber trade. Nowadays, the power plant on the mill property can almost completely supply the company with its own energy; a second turbine, together with a photovoltaic system, takes care of this. A wood chip heating system is planned. As an ecological requirement, a fish ladder had to complement the more energy-generating power plant. Nowadays such a company, which is supposed to bring nature, culture and economy in harmony, has to be managed professionally. The current managing miller can no longer do without the precise knowledge of business administration .

Protected architectural monument

The two-storey house with a tail gable from 1656 and an artistic portal, which was redesigned around 1950, is a listed building. This includes the sawmill, a multi-storey gable roof building with plaster structures and a tower, which was built at the end of the 19th century. Both buildings are a protected monument with the file number D-1-78-113-19 of the Bavarian State Office for Monument Preservation .

Fish ladder

The fish ladder as a new stream

In 2013 a fish ladder was built right across the “Mühleninsel”, which was integrated into nature so that the fish can get from the Mühlkanal into the Glonn and further into the Amper and back again without being injured or killed by the electricity generating turbine . Since the waters have improved their water quality and contain more fish again, such hiking aids are necessary at all power plants.
