Pillar mill

The stump mill is a listed former watermill on the Glems in Schwieberdingen . The name is derived from the fact that the mill once burned down to the foundation walls ( stump ).

history

Its roots go back to a mill that was first mentioned in a document in 1424 in the Württemberg warehouse register as "Haintzlin Mülin" (i.e. the mill of Hans or Heinz). In 1495 the "Auberlin Müllerinn der Ober Mühl" is mentioned. In 1603 the mill was sold to Wilhelm von Nippenburg , who bequeathed it to his daughter Benedicta, who was married to Johann Heinrich von Stockheim. After the mill, now known as the “Stumpenmühlin” , burned down around 1700, Ernst Ludwig Leutrum von Ertingen and his wife Juliane, nee von Stockheim, had a new water mill built in 1705 on the same site. In 1813 this was sold to Johann Balthas Schwegler.

In 1836 the mill had a water wheel, which was fed by a 270 m long canal branched off to the right of the Glems. In 1940 the mill already had three overshot water wheels measuring 3.78 m and 3.86 m in diameter and 0.91 m and 1.18 m wide. They used a gradient of 4.47 m and delivered a raw power of 16.1 hp with a water inflow of 270 l / s. The water wheels were replaced by a Francis turbine in 1932 . In 1953 a second turbine, an Ossberger turbine , was added.

The Stumpenmühle has been owned by the Nonnenmacher family since 1902. Today she works with three double roller mills and one shot gallery. The grinding capacity is four tons per day. The mill products are sold to bakeries as well as to private customers. A mill shop is available.
