history
The time when the mill was built is not known, we only know that it was called "Röthmühle" (from the dye " Röth ", which was obtained from the roots of "Krapp" and used as a dye) and the Hochstift Speyer belonged to. The mill was first mentioned towards the end of the 13th century. In 1587 it was leased from Weigandt Dietelmayer. According to the year 1765 carved into the archway, the mill was rebuilt by Johann Daniel Heene after a fire. In 1890 Georg Straub, who immigrated from Swabia, married a great-granddaughter of J. Daniel Heene and became the owner of the mill, which he then bequeathed to his son Adam Straub in 1936. In 1971 the milling operation was stopped. A turbine has been generating electricity since 1983. The building was later bought by Heinz Marneth and converted into a hotel and restaurant, which was opened in 1989 under the name "Sägmühle". After Marneth's death in 1999, the business was continued by his daughter Andrea and her husband Helmut Hook. Why the Röthmühle became the sawmill at some point is unknown.
