The Steigmühle (also New Mill , Maier mill , Heidnersmühle ) is a former flour mill in the Lower Franconian Dettelbach . It is located on the Bibergauer Mühlbach in the west of Dettelbach's old town at Nachtigallenstrasse 31. The mill is one of the so-called twelve mills around the city.
history
Already at the time of the German Peasant War there was probably a mill at this point of the brook. The mill was first mentioned in a document in 1591, although no precise name for the plant has been passed down from this time. At that time there was only talk of four mills "against Bibergau ". In 1638 the Steigmühle was first mentioned by name as Neue Mühle, and it has probably been rebuilt in the meantime.
The facility was given its current name in 1646. At that time, it was called Steigmühle because of its location and the adjacent parcel of land . In 1686 , the Dettelbacher mills were first compared. The Steigmühle was rated as the most worthless mill with 250 guilders . However, the millers succeeded in increasing the value of their mill to 375 guilders by 1777. The mill changed names more often in the following decades and mostly received the name of the respective owner.
In 1840 Franz Rauch Müller was the Steigmühle. The mill was the first of the twelve Dettelbacher mills that gave up milling operations and was converted into a restaurant in 1906 . At that time, the millers had only been farming for a long time. The mill building was last renovated in 1800, and the mansard house that still exists was built. It is classified as an architectural monument by the Bavarian State Office for the Preservation of Monuments .
Description and technology
The former mill building, which was converted into a restaurant through renovations, presents itself as a simple, two-storey mansard roof building from around 1800. The former Steigmühle was operated in 1840 by a single mill wheel . It was not until 1906 that the company switched to a steam engine .
