history
The mill was first mentioned in 1358, it already belonged to Siegelsbach at that time and was owned by Conrad von Helmstatt , who sold his property to Engelhard von Hirschhorn . The “Mulin czu Schneppenhart” is also mentioned in a document from Count Palatine Rudolf II from 1380 and when the Hirschhorn family was divided up in 1393. In 1544 the mill came into the possession of the community of Siegelsbach and became a ban mill for the residents of the place. From the 17th century onwards, the mill was also called the Grundmühle , from which its current address is derived. The following mills are named: Bartholomäus Ziegler (1638), Christmann Dörfflinger (1645), Hans Oberthür (1655), Hans Ohilipp Oberthür (1677–1711), Johann Georg Seipp (1717), Heinrich Nischinger (1726) and Elias Springer (1727) . At the wedding of Springer's daughter, the mill came to the Groß family, who ran it for over 100 years. In 1785 a new cellar building was built. In 1842 Christoph Wagenbach bought the mill, after whom his son-in-law Friedrich Sommer was a miller. The mill building was rebuilt in 1859, and a hemp grater was added in 1861 . In 1890 the director of the Heilbronn sugar factory , Christian Seybold, bought the mill. From him it first came to son-in-law Christian Ruckwied and then to grandson Hermann Ruckwied (1902–1955). From the 1930s on, the mill mainly had customers among the boatmen from Haßmersheim , who had the flour stocks ground here for their long journeys. In 1957 the facility was partially destroyed by fire, whereupon the owner family returned the mill license and gradually converted the property into the Mühlenschenke inn . The property has since been renovated and expanded several times.
