The Zechlesmühle

The Zechlesmühle in Ditzingen is one of the largest grain mills on the Glems . It has been owned by the Siegle family since 1697. The mill runs a mill shop.

history

The mill was first named in 1524 as "the oil slipper". The name "Zechlesmühle" is derived from the previous owner Ezekiel Siegle, who in 1768 built an oil mill and a hemp grater above his grinding mill. Both the oil mill and the hemp grater were given up around 1800.

Originally the mill was operated with three overshot water wheels . They were fed by a 720 m long canal branched off to the left of the Glems. The water wheels were renewed several times during the 19th century and replaced by larger ones. In 1902 a 4.20 m high and 1.70 m wide overshot waterwheel was installed. It had a usable gradient of 4.67 m and delivered a raw power of 8.4 HP with a water inflow of 135 l / s. In 1926 the water wheel was replaced by two Francis turbines with a capacity of 300 l / s and 150 l / s respectively. In 1937 two crude oil engines with 8 HP and 15 HP power were installed to support the hydropower. In 1970 the defective Francis turbines were replaced by an Ossberger turbine with a capacity of 920 l / s and a maximum output of 46.7 hp.

The mill now works with eight single and two double roller mills . The grinding capacity is (as of 1997) 24 tons in 24 hours. The products are sold to both bakeries and private customers.
