Strötzbacher mill
The Strötzbacher Mühle is a double water mill near Mömbris in the district of Aschaffenburg in Bavaria .
geography
The Strötzbacher Mühle is located in the middle of the Kahlgrund between Mömbris and Niedersteinbach , on the edge of the town of Strötzbach . It consists of two former flour mills and was built on the rocky foothills of the Daunert (334 m), on a natural fall of the Kahl . Strötzbach train station is nearby. Before and after the Kahlbrücke there is a weir about 7 meters long , which leads the short Mühlbach to the building of the Strötzbacher Mühle and forms a small island. Its water level can be checked using two lift gates . The Kahl – Schöllkrippen railway line , the Kahltal-Spessart cycle path and the Franconian Marienweg run past the mill .
history
Where the village of Strötzbach originated, the Strötzbacher Mühle was built in 1650 as a double mill in a half-timbered house. There were two separate mills under one roof. The mill parts were nested inside each other on the individual floors. The progenitors of the Doppelmühle were Jakob Koch , who came from Sonthofen , and the local Andreas Brückner , who came from Frohnhofen . In the 19th century, the brick cultivation was expanded across the Brückner mill. Adolf Koch and Otto Brückner were the last millers in Strötzbach, because they shut down the business in the 1970s.
The two undershot water wheels of the Strötzbacher mill were preserved. They have a diameter of 4.8 m (Koch mill) and 5.8 m (Brückner mill). The Koch-Mühle in the northern part of the building was converted into the family's apartment. Your water wheel now only turns for display purposes. The old mill equipment was preserved in the Brückner mill, so that the grinding process continues to function as in earlier times. The drive, with the standing shaft and the iron king wheel that drives the roller frame, have been preserved. The roller mill once replaced the two stone grinding aisles of the Brückner mill. By maintaining the building with interior fittings, the weirs, the mill stream and the water wheels, a mill museum was housed in the Strötzbach mill in 1989. This can be viewed from May to October by arrangement. The Strötzbacher Mühle is now a listed building .
