The Sosberg farmer's mill

The "Sosberger Bauernmühle", of which you can only see the foundation walls and the well-preserved mill moat, was built in 1738 as the "New Mill for the Sosberger Bach". It was built at this point because its predecessor, the "Elzer Mühle", approx. 500 m above this point, was destroyed in a storm. The first miller of the Sosberger Bach mill was the miller Johann Jacob Schnorr from Beltheim, which is why the mill was also called "Schnorr's Mill". In 1817 the mill was already listed in an official register as a Mastershausen cooperative mill, which was operated by the Schnorr miller family (successor). Because of its poor structural condition and the constant shortage of water, the 24 Mastershausen mill members applied for the construction of a new mill on the Mastershausen brook in 1815. This mill was called "Mastershausener Bauernmühle" and stood at the mouth of the Mautzbach on the Mastershausener Bach below the "Mohre Mühle". Presumably the Sosberger Bauernmühle was abandoned for almost 50 years after 1815 and fell into disrepair. In a cadastral register from 1850 it is no longer mentioned as an existing building. It was only after 1863 that the Sosberger Bauernmühle was rebuilt or renovated in the same place and operated as a cooperative mill by the miller Peter Josef Engel from Sosberg and some Mastershausen citizens. The mill was stopped at the beginning of the 1950s, the mill was left to decay and demolished in the mid-1960s. Source: Text information board
