The Holleben watermill is a mill in the district of the same name in the municipality of Teutschenthal in Saxony-Anhalt .

history

According to legend, the mill goes back to the activities of the Hersfeld monks . These are said to have initially settled in the neighboring town of Delitz am Berge , from where they are said to have started to develop their district economically. Their work is said to have been the installation of a water mill , but this cannot be proven. They are said to have used an already existing watercourse, a tributary of the Saale (“Hulbe” logo), which was made usable for the purposes of a powerful mill by building a weir near Hohenweiden and embankment. In order for the costly construction to be worthwhile, all the towns between Lauchstädt , Korbetha and Passendorf had to have their grain ground in Holleben ( Mühlenzwang ).

In a document from Emperor Barbarossa dated February 21, 1174, he took the Augustinian Canons of St. Peter zu Roßleben ( Rusteleue ) with the named properties and affiliations, including the church of Holleben with the newly established village, the mill, the Wasserzollas and a tree garden over the water, in its shelter.

In 1618 the mill was rebuilt and its inauguration coincides with the beginning of the Thirty Years War .

In 1713 the mill fell victim to a fire, and in 1737 it was rebuilt. In 1766 the mill burned down again. It was rebuilt in 1768. In 1991 the protection system was reconstructed.
