The Untere Kleinmichelsmühle in Siebenmühlental is a grain mill that was first mentioned in documents in 1417 . It belongs to Plattenhardt , a district of Filderstadt . It is tenth in the row of mills - somewhat hidden on the sawmill property. The mill building was built in the 17th century. It was only converted into a sawmill in 1907. The sawmill used to be powered by water power and is now powered by electricity.
history
The lower Kleinmichelesmühle was mentioned in 1417 "Schrufels Milin". The mill building that is preserved today was probably built in the middle of the 16th century. Around 1711, "Klein" Michel Weinmann (1683–1750), son of Michel Weinmann (1659–1711), became the owner of the mill, he was also the operator of the Upper Kleinmichelesmühle . This ownership had an impact on the naming of both grinding places. In 1907 Rudolf Waidelich (1882–1971) converted the mill, which had been used as a grain mill up until that year, into a sawmill. Since 1996 the company has been divided into the sawmill "WW-Holz" and "Holzland". These developments led to a significant expansion of the operating area around the mill.
Mill and mill technology
The main building of the Lower Kleinmichelesmühle is one of the oldest in the valley. The two-story half-timbered building with projections and cleats was dated to 1588 using dendrochronology . An elaborate half-timbering is suspected to be under the colored plaster . As a grain mill, the Unter Kleinmichelesmühle had one tanning process and two grinding stages . After the conversion to a sawmill, an overshot waterwheel served as a drive until 1943, when it was replaced by a turbine. In 1948 the mill received a power connection, which made it possible to drive electric motors.
particularities
In the forest area above the mill there is an elaborately worked memorial stone from 1834, which reminds of Jakob Kämmerle, miller's son at the lower Kleinmichelesmühle, who died there while transporting wood.
