Sole mill
The Sohlener Mühle was an overshot water mill in the Sohlen district of the village of Beyendorf-Sohlen, which is now part of Magdeburg . The four-sided mill farmstead on the Sülze is a listed building , but is no longer in use as a mill.
Location and architecture
The current buildings of the Mühlenhof ( Dodendorfer Weg 11 ), which were partly built as half-timbered , brick and quarry stone, go back to the period from 1785 and are laid out as a four-sided courtyard . The mill is located at the western end of the village in the so-called Froschgrund on a path that runs as a dirt road along the Sülze to Dodendorf . Only a few hundred meters west of the mill, the federal motorway 14 crosses the Sülze.
Some of the arched windows and the entrance door, both renewed at the turn of the 21st century, are remarkable. The mill technology of the originally overshot mill has been preserved only in small parts.
history
As early as 1370, a watermill on a Slavic residential area in Kriwen is mentioned as abandoned. It is assumed that this was the current location. Around 1380 the mill in Kryve , later Solenbeyndorp , was named as an archbishop's fief . The lease was two wispel grain a year, which is likely to have been equivalent to about a ton of grain. The names of various tenants are documented. In the years 1368/82 Ebeling von Borne is mentioned in Magdeburg. In 1380 the knight Fritz zu Welsleben was led with Werner Pistorius and Nicolaus Aben . In 1428 Otto Schriber von Schmalkalden , 1446 Bosse Homburg and 1491 Caspar Homburg zu Brumby held the fief.
In 1785, the miller Johann Heinrich Schade renewed the mill room and built the buildings that are still standing today. Agriculture was also practiced parallel to the milling activity.
On November 8, 1813, a company of the 2nd Battalion of the 1st Croatian Provisional Regiment was in the mill. The unit belonged to French troops under the command of General Pierre Lanusse , who were supposed to defend Sohlen and Dodendorf from advancing Russian troops allied with Prussia . However, the attacking Russian troops under General Doktorof forced the early evacuation of the Sohlener mill.
In 1882 the mill was operated by W. Bothe . The last miller was Albert Borchert who ceased operations in 1926. The water wheel was still functional until 1939/40 .
