history
The time when the mill was built is unclear; the names of the millers have only been documented since the middle of the 18th century. It was first owned by Georg Franz Götz, who renovated the property in 1773 and had a new barn built in 1760. He was followed by Friedrich Sendner from Thüngfeld in Upper Franconia . Between 1781 and 1825 he owned all three dingol house mills.
His sons followed him. Between 1825 and 1855, Friedrich Sendner II sat together with his wife Dorothea, née Feldmann, at the Volkachsmühle. Under his administration, the mill business collapsed and he had to sell the mill on. It then came to the Neuner family until 1865, who probably came from Schlüsselfeld . The Scheder family owned the mill until 1877.
In 1877 the Bausewein and Adler families from Ebrach bought the mill. The Adler family also bought the Klesenmühle near Gerolzhofen at the same time . It was not until 1855 that Ignaz Sendner senior managed to get the mill back into the hands of his family and he managed the property of his great-grandfather Friedrich Sendner II again. His son Ignaz Sendner junior sat there between 1919 and 1958 before the mill passed to Theobald Sendner got.

The Volkachsmühle (also Obermühle) was originally supplied with water from a specially dug Mühlbach. For this purpose a water weir was built and the Volkach was diverted. This also meant that the location of the mill changed slightly over the centuries because weirs had to be relocated and renewed. With a total of seven meters of creek gradient, the Volkachsmühle has the highest gradient along the Volkach. The Mühlbach was leveled in the course of land consolidation in 1960.
The property from 1773 was one-story and consisted of the house with a mill, a wine cellar , the barn from 1760, as well as a pigsty, an oven and a kiln . In addition, a sawmill was set up, which still existed until 1912 and was driven by its own millstone. The respective miller family cultivated around 100 acres of fields in the vicinity of the mill, so that the Volkachsmühle in nearby Dingolshausen was associated with great prosperity.
In 1912, the miller rebuilt the house and almost completely demolished the originally 14 by 4 meter basement. Between 1925 and 1928, the sawmill was moved to the state road in order to be able to supply customers more quickly and it was converted to steam drive. Nevertheless, the sawmill was shut down in the 1920s. In 1939 the 18th century barn was torn down.
The grain mill initially had a grist and a grinding process. Around 1929 it was expanded to include a roller mill , a sighting machine and a peeling machine. However, as early as 1935, the flour production was stopped, so that it was only crushed. In 1936 the Volkachsmühle received a diesel engine and the grist business expanded. After only Dingolshausen could be supplied during the Second World War , the mill operation was stopped in 1951.
