Tips

April 10, 2022

Paulusmühle belonged with Hofstetten to the south and Schweizermühle to the Cistercian monastery of Walderbach near Roding in today's Cham district. In 1434 Ott Wenger sat on it, who gave its name to the "Wengersmühle", the old name of the Paulusmühle. In 1581 the name of the miller was Paulus Pößel, who was also the village judge of Hofstetten; his first name became the new mill name, which is still used today. The Lordship (Hilpolt)-Stein held the higher and lower jurisdiction. A description by the Hilpoltstein office in Palatinate-Neuburg from 1604 mentions the "Wen(n)inger(s)- or Paulsmuhl".

After the Imperial Deputation Act brought about the secularization of Walderbach Monastery, the mill became Bavarian in 1806. In the new kingdom, it came under the Heuberg tax district, then under the rural municipality of Hofstetten; this was incorporated into the town of Hilpoltstein in the Roth district on January 1, 1972, as part of the Bavarian territorial reform.[13]

In 1813, the indebted master miller Franz Anton Angermeyer ceded the Paulusmühle to his son-in-law, Johann Georg Gemelch (the Angermeier miller family had already owned the mill in 1610);[14] their daughter, Josepha Angermeyer, married the Munich "suburban butcher" Franz Xavier Reichl in 1826.[15] In 1832, it is reported that the mill had a grinding mill.[16] In 1861, Franz Gmelch owned the mill.[17]

A sawmill and farm were connected to the mill. In 1875, the miller kept two horses and nine cattle.[18] The mill belonged to the Catholic parish of Zell and the Protestant parish of Eckersmühlen. The children attended the Catholic school in Hofstetten and the Protestant school in Hilpoltstein, respectively.[19] In 1917, the Wurm miller family took over the mill, replacing the waterwheel with a turbine. In 1970, however, they ceased milling and abandoned the sawmill operation.
