Tips

April 10, 2022

Seitzenmühle belonged with Hofstetten to the south and Paulusmühle to the Cistercian monastery of Walderbach near Roding in today's Cham district. The mill was owned by the Nuremberg patrician family Haller von Hallerstein in 1415 under the name "Neumuhl", so it was probably only built around this time. Today's mill name goes back to Hermann Seitz, who sat at the mill in 1488. The Lordship (Hilpolt)-Stein, later the Hilpoltstein Nursing Office in Palatinate-Neuburg, held the higher and lower jurisdiction. A description of this office from 1604 still mentions the “Neumuhl” but also the “Seytzmuhl/Seitzmuhl/Seuzmul”. It belonged to the church of St. George in the "Vorstath Hilboldstein", which was demolished in 1804, a branch of the "Häperg" (=Heuberg) parish, which had been evangelical since 1542.

After the Imperial Deputation Act brought about the secularization of Walderbach Monastery, the mill became Bavarian in 1806. In the new kingdom, it became part of the tax district and municipality of Heuberg, and on February 19, 1822, along with three other mills, it became part of the Hilpoltstein municipal community by the second municipal edict.

In the 19th and 20th centuries, it belonged to the Catholic parish of Hilpoltstein.[10][11] A sawmill and farm were attached to the mill; in 1873, the miller's family kept two horses and ten cattle.[12]

Powered by an undershot waterwheel, the mill was owned by various miller families over the centuries, including the Weyersmüller, the Schweizer, the Wurm, the Ehrenbrand, and finally the Lochmüller family. They abandoned the milling operation in the 1970s but continued to operate the sawmill and farm until the property was leased to a gardening and landscaping company in 1989. Since then, the Seitzenmühle, with its main building dating from 1852, has been a residential mill.
