history

The mill, consisting of a property, belonged to the lower bishopric of Eichstätt and was subordinate to the high monastery of Obermässing. The prince-bishop guardian of Obermässing exercised the high judiciary.

When the Eichstätt Monastery was dissolved in the course of secularization in Bavaria , the Einödmühle passed to Grand Duke Archduke Ferdinand III in 1802 . from Tuscany and 1806 to the new Kingdom of Bavaria and there to the regional court of Beilngries . It was added to the Obermässing tax district in 1809 as part of the formation of the Bavarian community, and in 1811 it was assigned to the community of the same name. On October 1, 1857, the municipality of Obermässing and thus also the Wirthsmühle was removed from the Beilngries regional court and assigned to the nearby Greding regional court . With the regional reform in Bavaria , Obermässing and its parts of the municipality were incorporated into the city of Greding on January 1, 1972.

In 1875 six people lived in the mill; the miller's economy included a horse and eleven head of cattle in terms of large cattle. The children attended the Catholic school in the parish of Obermässing. The mill was in operation until the 1950s; it was driven by water that was collected at night in a pond with several small inlets. The mill last changed hands in 1967. Georg Wolf acquired the ruin and restored it. He started breeding horses with Icelandic and Connemara horses. In 1989, daughter Angelika Wolf took over the farm and continued to expand horse breeding. The breed is known far beyond Germany, especially the Connemara horse breed.
