history
The fertile valley of the Mainbach was already settled in the Neolithic . A settlement area of around 4.5 hectares is designated as a ground monument 100 meters south of Weihersmühle. In the immediate vicinity there are settlement and burial sites from the Urnfield Period and the Hallstatt Period . At the turn of the times, the area was the southernmost branch of the Narisker settlement area .
The settlement was abandoned in Roman times; the Limes was only a day's march away and times were getting too restless. There are no findings from the time of the Great Migration and only began sporadically again with the Carolingian period.
The economic revival of the area dates back to the 11th and 12th centuries. The structure of the mill from 1796 is still preserved today. In the Bavarian original cadastre from 1808 the mill and its farm buildings are recorded under the name Weyerers-Mühle and another homestead is recorded. Particularly worth mentioning is the Mühlweyher, which was extremely large at three hectares during this period .
Conversions and extensions from the 18th and 19th centuries have been preserved and are now a listed building (see: List of architectural monuments in Weihersmühle ).
