history

Old landmarks in the garden wall of the mill with the inscriptions HHVE and IVE 1587 refer to old Ehrenberg property. The mill was first mentioned in 1596 as the Middle Mill . The millers were Conrad Lehmann (1640), Hans Jörg Dauscher (1647), Abraham Fröhlich (as successor to Dauscher), Hans Ulrich Roth (1680), Hans Georg Wolff (1693) and Johann Heinrich Nischinger (1698). In 1707 the mill was the only one of the mills in the valley to have two grinding cycles , and a tanning cycle was added later. The mill was renewed in 1736 by Jörg Michael Nischinger, whose initials IMN and the year of construction are on the portal. Subsequently, the mill was owned by two generations of the Weinle family. The mill was named Sommersmühle from the Sommer tenant family, who owned the mill from 1787 to around 1910 and who renovated the building again in 1825 and expanded the mill with a hemp grater and a sawmill . From 1910 the mill was owned by the Frank milling family. Mill operations ended at the beginning of the 1960s. In 1995 the then uninhabited property burned down, was completely renovated in 2001 and is now used as a residential building.

There has been a game reserve around the summer mill since 1978.
