The Scheermühle is an abandoned mill in the area of ​​the former municipality of Thannhausen in the former Central Franconian district of Gunzenhausen . Today the area belongs to the municipality of Pfofeld ( Weißenburg-Gunzenhausen district ). Despite the lack of buildings today, Scheermühle is an official district of Pfofeld.

location

The Scheermühle was located on the Brombach south of Absberg in the area of ​​today's Kleiner Brombachsee and north of today's nature reserve "Peninsula in the Kleiner Brombachsee." Neighboring mills that were also lost due to the construction of the reservoir were the bag mill and the Neumühle . The Scheermühle was directly on the district road leading from Gunzenhausen to Spalt .

history

The mill was first mentioned in 1309 when, on December 24th of this year, Leupold von Absberg sold, among other things, “his mill, called the Scharre” with its pond to the German order commander Ellingen . In the following year, on July 25, 1310, the "Schaere" is mentioned again in connection with the sale of the neighboring Neumühle on the "Pramach" by Chunrat von Absberg to the Teutonic Order. The place name researcher Robert Schuh names two possible interpretations: "Mill at the scissor-shaped confluence of two streams" (that would be the Röthenhofer Bach and the Brombach) or "Mill near a scissor-shaped corridor."

The Coming Ellingen was the "Schermühl" at least since the early 17th century (document of 1608) vogt - and gültbar ; According to a document from 1612, the Fraisch was disputed between the Teutonic Order and the Margrave-Ansbach Office of Gunzenhausen. For 1732, we learn that the German order in Ellingen belonging mill according Absberg gepfarrt and the tenth part of the local Parish; the Vogtei inner Ettern is perceived by the Teutonic Order in Ellingen, while the high Fraisch is now clearly with the Margravial Oberamt Gunzenhausen.

In 1792 the wasteland with the Margraviate of Ansbach became Prussian . At the end of the Holy Roman Empire , the Scheermühle with the former Principality of Ansbach was transferred to the new Kingdom of Bavaria as a result of the Reichsdeputationshauptschluss 1806 , where the wasteland in the district court / rent office Gunzenhausen from 1808 to the tax district Absberg, from 1811 to the rural community Absberg and from 1818 to the rural community Thannhausen was incorporated.

Several of the mill operators are known over the centuries. In 1326 a "Chunr (at) der Wag (ner) vo (n) der Scher" is mentioned, 1565 Hans Biettenfelder, 1606 Leonhard (t) Apel with his wife Catarina and 1667 Georg Auppel. In 1797 the miller Adam Leykauf took over the mill and the associated farm from his father Georg Michael Leykauf for 4800 guilders . The Rupp family had been running the mill since 1841 until the property was bought up by the Free State of Bavaria for the construction of the Kleiner Brombachsee in the 1970s and 1980s. Until then, the couple Friedrich and Frieda Rupp were the last owners to farm the mill property.
