Scheckenmühle

The Scheckenmühle is a wasteland and a district of the market Heidenheim in the central Franconian district of Weißenburg-Gunzenhausen ( Bavaria ).

location

The mill is located in the Franconian Alb in the Rohrach valley south of Heidenheim and the Balsenmühle, which also belongs to Heidenheim, and north of the Heidenheim district of Hechlingen on State Road 2384.

Surname

The mill has been named for the first time since the middle of the 15th century after the person or field name "Scheck" (to mhd. "Schëcke" = "striped, piebald").

history

The mill is first mentioned in 1391 as "Knollenmul" (mill of a Knoll) or as "Hermül" (mill on Heerstraße / an den Heeräckern). Heidenheim Monastery was the landlord of the mill . The mill not only had riches to give to the monastery and, after its secularization (1537), to the Brandenburg-Ansbach monastery administrator's office in Heidenheim, but also to the Nuremberg-castle count , later Brandenburg-Ansbach office of Hohentrüdingen, which the bailiwick exercised over the mill. The mill names and their spellings change in the documents and books: Hermül, on which the young Knoll sits (1400), schecken mull (mid-15th century), seckenmul (1470), Schecken od (er) Hermul an der Rorach (1512) , Schecke Mull (1518), Her Müll (1532), Höërmühl (1606), Heermühln (1616), Scheckenmüll (1678), Schecken or Höhr Mühl (1732), Schecken- or Hehrmühle (1802).

The Salbuch monastery in Heidenheim from 1400 lists taxes on grain, oats, 1 pig to Gunzenhausen (in monetary value), cheese, eggs, two autumn chickens and a carnival chicken for the “Hermül”. After the Thirty Years' War , Paul Höhenberger, an exile from Upper Austria, took over the mill.

At the end of the Holy Roman Empire , the mill was subject to the high court of the Prussian, formerly Margravial Oberamt Hohentrüdingen since 1792 and the former Margravial Monastery Administrator Heidenheim. Ecclesiastically it is assigned to the Protestant parish of Hechlingen.

In 1791/92 the mill with the margraviate of Ansbach became royal- Prussian and in 1806 royal-Bavarian. When tax districts were formed in 1808 , the Scheckenmühle came with other mills and wastelands from the property of the former Heidenheim monastery to the Heidenheim tax district in the Heidenheim district court . When the tax districts were transformed into rural communities two years later , the Scheckenmühle was removed from Heidenheim and incorporated into Hechlingen. By the community edict of 1818, the Scheckenmühle came back to the community of Heidenheim in the district court of the same name. In 1833 the Scheckenmühle consisted of two grinding courses and one tanning course; The land included 9.5 hectares of arable land, 3 hectares of meadows and 0.3 hectares of forest. In 1862 the district court of Heidenheim became part of the district office (later the district) of Gunzenhausen , which was transformed into the larger district of Weißenburg-Gunzenhausen during the regional reform in Bavaria in 1971/72.

Today's mill building was rebuilt on Mühlinsel after being completely demolished in 1950; the water wheels were replaced by turbines . About ten years later the grinding operation was stopped.
