The Sundwiger Mühle (also Alberts' Mühle ) is the last watermill still in operation in the Märkischer Kreis . It is located in the Sundwig district of Hemeran in the north of the Sauerland .
The water of the Sundwiger Bach, which is fed into the mill via a mill pond , has been driving the mill since 1958 via a water turbine with an output of 16 hp when the water level is sufficient. If there is not enough water, it is operated by an electric motor. Until 1957 the mill was operated with an overshot water wheel that was located in the building.
Residential and farm buildings, the mill and the mill brake elevator have been under monument protection since 1995 . 270 tons of flour are still produced annually today.
history
The water mill was built between 1865 and 1868 by Johannes Peter Alberts from Alfrin near Herscheid (* April 29, 1829, † May 10, 1892). It lies partly on the remaining walls of a grain mill that mill builder Johann Hermann Stindt from Niederhemer on behalf of Johann Gottfried Wilhelm Renzing (born June 15, 1784, † May 4, 1856) had built at this point. The construction of the flour mill was registered with the Mayor of Hemeran Friedrich von der Becke on October 4, 1811. This had become possible because with the introduction of the freedom of trade , the ban on mill compulsion was also lifted in 1810. The commissioning of the flour mill took place on August 9, 1816 with a single grinding stage .
Also in the years 1865 to 1868, a mill brake elevator operated mechanically by water power was built , which was used to transport the heavy sacks of grain over three floors and is still in operation today. The current house of the Alberts' Mühle ensemble was built in 1810 by Johann Gottfried Wilhelm Renzing (* June 15, 1784, † May 4, 1856) as a Westphalian farmhouse with deele and stables . In 1893 the farmhouse was converted into a residential building. In the same year, the three-story warehouse at the mill was built. Until 1921, wood-fired ovens were used in the mill's cellar. In 1938 there was a fundamental renovation. The vertical shaft and the four- speed grinding system have been renewed. Milling was now carried out with a simple roller mill , a double roller mill and a stone grinding gear (diameter 1.40 m). In 1952, the simple roller mill was replaced by a double roller mill.
Since 2004 there has been bread from the wood oven at the mill again. This is no longer baked in the mill cellar, but in a small half-timbered bakery next to the mill pond.
The first entry in the commercial register was made as JP Alberts in the 1860s. The abbreviations stood for Johannes Peter.
