Mittelmühle
Mittelmühle stands in Nuremberg as a listed historic building with a two-storey mill and residential structure. Historical records first mention the place in 1363, linking it to Kleingründlach. Its surviving core dates from the seventeenth century and gives the architecture its defining form.
Kleingründlach placed the mill within a small community whose jurisdiction was contested between the Free Imperial City of Nuremberg and Brandenburg-Bayreuth’s Oberamt Baiersdorf. From 1792 to 1806, Prussian administration assigned the building house number five in the village. Administrative reforms moved the surrounding community to Eltersdorf in 1811, then to Großgründlach in 1912.
Nuremberg incorporated the area on 1 July 1972 during Bavaria’s territorial reform. Since the Reformation, local Evangelical Lutherans have belonged to St. Laurentius in Großgründlach. Roman Catholic residents belong to St. Hedwig, also in Großgründlach. The seventeenth-century core remains the clearest physical trace of this changing political and religious landscape.
