Fulling Mill (Reetz)

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Fulling mill is a former residential area ( desert ), today located in the area of ​​the West Pomeranian Voivodeship in Poland .

The desert is in Western Pomerania , about 160 kilometers northeast of Stettin between the town of Polanów (Pollnow) in the west and the village of Rzeczyca Wielka (Groß Reetz) in the east.

The living space consisted of a fulling mill with agriculture and an inn. The fulling mill was a water mill with a medium-sized water wheel. When the fulling mill was built is not known with certainty, although the years 1792 or 1806 are mentioned. The fulling mill existed with certainty in 1839, as it is registered on the Prussian premiere in 1838/1839 . The fulling mill initially belonged to the Groß Reetz manor , which was owned by the noble von Lettow family . In 1891 the miller Carl Bleich leased the mill. After his death in 1932 he was followed by his son Friedrich Bleich. In 1936 Friedrich Bleich bought the fulling mill from the landowner von Lettow.

Until 1945 this fulling mill was the last fulling mill in its original form in the province of Pomerania . The walker mill Friedrich Bleich had it renovated in 1940 and 1941 in accordance with historical monuments, with the work being carried out under the direction of the district building authority. He rebuilt the wooden waterwheel himself, according to the requirements of the preservation order. In 1942 the fulling mill was placed under monument protection. The fulling mill with its inn was a popular destination from the neighboring town of Pollnow before 1945 .

Until 1945 Walkmühle formed a place to live in the community of Reetz and belonged with this to the Rummelsburg district .

Towards the end of the Second World War , the place was occupied by the Red Army on March 4, 1945 . The Soviet power kidnapped the last miller, Friedrich Bleich, whose further fate is unknown.

After 1945, the place of residence came to Poland , like all of Western Pomerania . The Polish authorities initially set up a forest administration office here. But this was given up after a few years. The mill was probably dismantled from 1955. Today the place is desolate . The desert lies in the area of Gmina Polanów (urban and rural municipality Pollnow) .
