Prethalmühle

One of the most beautiful destinations in the beautiful places rich region.
Phenomenal 😎

The mill was first mentioned in documents in 1360 and was completely destroyed in the Thirty Years' War in 1635. The mill was rebuilt in 1643 and has since served as a flour and sawmill. When industrialization began, the mill was converted to produce electricity to maintain an energy-intensive copper foil factory. Today the mill feeds its green electricity directly into the grid.

The Prethalmühle has its origins in a high medieval imperial estate and was first mentioned in a document in 1360. It was destroyed in the Thirty Years War in 1635. The current residential building dates from 1643. For centuries the mill was used to grind flour, but it was also used as a sawmill.

In the course of industrialization, it was converted to produce electricity for the energy-intensive operation of a copper foil factory. Until well into the middle of the 20th century it supplied the nearby town of Prackenfels with direct current. Today the ecologically generated electricity is fed directly into the grid.

In 2008 the former Gasthaus der Mühle was one of the seven objects in the district of Nürnberger Land that received an award when the district of Middle Franconia was awarded a monument at the time.

Mentioned in a document as early as the 14th century. Several times destroyed and rebuilt. Used as a grain mill, sawmill and until the 1970s as a hammer mill for copper sheets and foils. Today an idyllic little place in the Schwarzachtal.

very nice - whoever lives there has restored the building with a lot of love, great!

If you don't want to walk along the road in the direction of Rasch, you can also take the path along the Schwarzach after the hydroelectric power station. Looks like a courtyard entrance, but it is a public path that leads into the Wiesengrund.
