history

The meadow mill was near the former community pond Dunstbachsee. The property was equipped with a few vineyards . The mill was a community marriage in the early modern times . Shortly before the mill, the Altbach passed five fields whose owners received annual interest from the miller. At the same time, the owner of the meadow mill was obliged to keep the ladders for the gallows and to make them available in the event of a conviction.

The meadow mill was first mentioned in 1594. At that time, the meadow miller Christoph Hoffmann from Frankenwinheim received the Prichsenstadt municipality. In the same year, however, Hannes Wentzel took over the facility, only to be able to pass it on to Hanns Götz until 1597. Lamprecht Knöringer from Kitzingen was granted citizenship by 1606 , he had been at the meadow mill since 1599. Until 1621, frequent changes of millers shaped the history of the facility.

In 1660 Georg Keller from Obervolkach received the mill. In 1696 Hannß Hartung from Rottendorf owned the mill before Wenceslaus Rüdel from Kleinlangheim came into possession in 1702. At the beginning of the 18th century Georg Schmitt sat out water Bernsdorf in Wiesenmuhle and gave it the same year to Johann Stephan Schnauder, probably with the miller of Schnaudersmühle was related. In 1787 Abdias Salomon Arnold bought the mill and committed to handing over a carnival chicken to the feudal lords every year.

In 1828, Mattheus von Berg, an Ebracher, owned the mill. He wanted to sell the system to Wilhelm Büttner from Rödelsee in 1842 . After the two had agreed a contract, however, Büttner did not manage to meet all conditions. So von Berg got the mill back. Two years later, in 1844, von Berg succeeded in selling the meadow mill to Joseph Neeb from Wiesentheid for 2,300 guilders. In 1847, however, Neeb was no longer at the mill.

In 1869 Richard Derr from Großlangheim was able to acquire the mill concession from the city of Prichsenstadt. In 1893 Michael Sauer from Prichsenstadt became Müller. After Georg Belz acquired the mill in 1917, the meadow mill remained in the hands of the family for a long time. The system had already been supplied with a power connection in 1910. In 1920 it got a diesel engine before an electric motor was installed in 1938. At the same time, a gypsum mill was operated between 1900 and 1938 .

After Rudolf Belz took over the plant from his father in 1963, the mill was stopped on December 31, 1979. By 1984 the parallel farming was also given up. Previously, only milling had been carried out since 1944 . In 1993, Rudolf Belz's sister-in-law was awarded a large part of the property by dividing the estate. In the period that followed, the buildings began to deteriorate.
