The steel mill in the Rohrachtal is a district of the Heidenheim market in the Weissenburg-Gunzenhausen district in Central Franconia ( Bavaria ).

location

The wasteland is about one and a half kilometers south of the Hahnenkammsee , adjacent to the west on the state road St 2384 an der Rohrach leading to Ursheim as the next town .

history

The name is derived from the Lords of Stahelsberg, who sat on today's Schloßberg near Hechlingen am See and built the mill at an unknown time. Around 1200 the Stahelsbergers died out with the Free Rupertus von Stahelsberg (called 1197). Around 1400 the grain mill becomes tangible in the springs of the Heidenheim monastery , which it had come into possession of. After the monastery was dissolved in the course of the Reformation , the steel mill belonged to the Ansbach Chamber of Commerce Hohentrüdingen until secularization .

With the secularization, the mill came to Bavaria in 1806, where it was assigned to the Heidenheim district court from 1808 . In the 20th century, the grain mill was shut down and converted into a sawmill operated by Rohrach, which belonged to the municipality of Hechlingen am See and with this came to the municipality of Heidenheim on May 1, 1978. The steel mill is still a wood processing company today. There are currently 6 residents.

Others

  • At the steel mill, limestone ( white Jurassic lime ) was mined in a quarry that is no longer accessible today .
  • On the nearby Schloßberg north of the steel mill, earth walls and a ditch testify to the former Stahelsberg castle complex. In the former courtyard, ruins of a Cistercian monastery church from the 13th century have been preserved.
  • The Stahlmühle 1 building is the only architectural monument in the area and dates from the 17th or 18th century.
