The brick mill is a district of the town of Treuchtlingen in the central Franconian district of Weißenburg-Gunzenhausen . The desert has 11 inhabitants (as of 1987) and is located at an altitude of about 410 meters above sea level.

Geographical location

The place is the penultimate mill on the Rohrach between Wettelsheim and Bubenheim . At the same time, the district road WUG 5 runs past. The Treuchtlingen – Würzburg railway runs around 100 meters to the southwest.

Place name interpretation

There are several “brick mills” in Bavaria . Mills in which bricks were made on the side were probably referred to as such. It is also conceivable that such mills stood near an abandoned brickworks as the actual place of manufacture for bricks. It is unlikely that the name derives from a possible brick construction.

history

The mill was first mentioned in 1576: The "brick miller zu Wettelßheim on the Zeigelmühl", a certain Daniel Offenmüller, argued with the community of Wettelsheim about the cattle drive. In 1719 the name "Schneckenmühl" appears. In 1732 the property was called "Schnecken- oder Ziegel-Mühl" and belonged to the Wettelsheim judges' office of the Margraviate Brandenburg-Ansbach , where the tithe was also to be paid; from 1792 the mill with Wettelsheim was royal-Prussian . The mill was on the territory of the Franconian Empire . The Vogtei also held the judge's office in Wettelsheim, while Fraisch lay with the Ansbach Oberamt Hohentrüdingen .

In the new Kingdom of Bavaria , Wettelsheim and its mills became the Wettelsheim tax district in 1808 . When the rural community Wettelsheim was formed in 1818 , the brick mill also belonged to it. Wettelsheim was in the former district of Gunzenhausen and was voluntarily incorporated into Treuchtlingen on January 1, 1972 as part of the municipal reform.

In 1984 grain was still ground in the mill, but agriculture was also carried out.
