Kettenmühle Mainbernheim
Highlight • Other
The Kettenmühle was first mentioned in documents in the year 1563. At that time, Georg Bustle was working as a miller here. Already one year later, in 1564, Georg Kestler is verifiably the miller. He was followed by Hans Schmotzer in 1572, Lorenz Schwemmer in 1594, and finally a certain Sauderich, whose widow operated the facility before 1610. She sold the Kettenmühle to Georg Beck. In 1634, Ludwig Groh owned the mill, and in 1642, Adam Schmidt was working as a miller. Frequent changes of millers also characterized the following centuries.
Thus, the following millers are verifiably documented in succession at the Kettenmühle: 1698 Wolfgang Lang, 1702 Johann Michael Lieber, 1720 Gabriel Wagner from Cron-Weißenburg, 1731 Conrad Schwarz from Einersheim, and 1745 Johann Wilhelm Schneider. Georg Andreas Erbshäuser from Prichsenstadt, mentioned here in 1773, also operated the Herrgottsmühle in Creglingen, as he could not make a living from custom milling in Mainbernheim. Still in 1773, he handed over the facility to Johann Adam Schneider. In 1797 it passed to Johann Konrad Härting, and in 1827 to Johann Michael Christgau from Mönchsondheim.
In the 19th century, the mill was no longer granted to millers merely as a fief of the authorities, but became family property. The facility then remained partly in one hand for several generations. For example, Johann Michael Luntz from Fröhstockheim inherited it after 1840 to his son Johann Georg Luntz, who operated the Kettenmühle until 1876. Subsequently, it passed to Johann Konrad Schübel until 1903. Since then, it has been in the possession of the Scheck family. The family is also responsible for the alternative name Schecksmühle. In 1922, the mill, which had primarily supplied flour to people from Buchbrunn and Mainbernheim, was shut down.

Even if there are no animals to be seen between the trees, they still live very close to us. Whether owls, wasps, birds or foxes - each species leaves its own trail. With the "Bärolino" you can check your knowledge or acquire new knowledge.
