Waymarking

The site of the former fulling mill is located on the Oelse in the Schlaubetal Nature Park . It was once located between Groß Briesen in the west, Kieselwitz in the east, Dammendorf in the north and Chossewitz in the south. North of the mill and south of Lake Oelsen is the Walkemühlenteich , south of the mill is a small mill pond and southeast of it is the meadow pond in the forest. The mill location is now a residential area of Grunow-Dammendorf in Brandenburg , as the forester's house is located here.

history

In 1620 a board mill was built on the Oelse after there had been a dispute for several years about the building site for such a mill. Groß Briesen was a Brandenburg enclave and the Neuzelle Ordensamt had to wait some time for the situation to be clarified before construction could begin. During the Thirty Years War , the Swedish General Lennart Torstensson camped with his troops in Neuzelle Abbey . They were accused of tearing down entire villages in search of building materials and of stealing all the floorboards and formwork boards from the cutting mill . Since no new wood could be procured because of the marauders , the mill was idle. In 1654, the office rented the Kieselwitz cutting mill for three years in order to obtain the necessary boards for the new building. At that time, boards were usually cut from the pine trunks , which were then shipped to Berlin via Beeskow . They were then sold at the Salzhof near Spandau . The profits were very small, however, and wood was available for little money. Although the boards were the property of the master master and passed duty-free , and the subjects of the office were obliged to buy their wood only from this mill, the mill was unprofitable. The Office therefore she wanted to sell and found in 1707 in the tenants of the Vorwerk Weichensdorf , Thomas Wilke, a buyer. But since he did not pay the inheritance money , possibly because the income was so low, the mill was sold again in 1712. The merchant Christoph Kegeler from Berlin became the new owner. His timber business was not going well and so in 1714 he switched to the grain trade because grain was scarce at the time. The mill changed hands several times until Georg Reitsch decided in 1758 to convert it into an oil and groats mill , as the sawmill alone was not worth it.

The next tenants were Hofrat Lesemann and the court mason Naumann , who leased together. They wanted the wood for the new buildings in Berlin. However, when the customs posts increased the fees drastically, they gave up the mill and the timber transport. From 1768 onwards the mill was again under the authority of the Neuzelle office. This not only ensured an economic upturn in the location, it also used its subjects as day laborers . The Chossewitzers had been obliged to do this for years, and later Grunower , Mixdorfer , Dammendorfer, Oelsener and Klein Briesener also had to do the heavy lifting . They were threatened with prison sentences , seizures and compulsory billeting if they refused, and severe sentences were imposed. The profits increased considerably and they returned to Berlin. In addition to the cutting mill, there was also an oil press , a house, a barn and a stable. The Dammendorfer chief forester was responsible for supervision together with the clerk at Friedland .

In 1831 a fulling mill was set up, which gave it its name. In 1833 the miller Garlos is mentioned, in 1840 Friedrich Wilhelm Garlipp . Later subordinated to the bailiff from Friedland again, it was owned by Carl Kunther before 1897 . After the end of the Second World War , in 1946, the sawmill was closed, flour was ground again until 1957, and in 1970 the mill building was completely demolished. The house, now the forester's residence, and the stables have been preserved. The fulling mill even had its own zip code : O-1231 fulling mill, today 15299.
