Whetstone Mill Monument / Schleifmuehlendenkmal

Here the interior to show how such a late medieval shack by the river with a t whetstone turned by water power did most of the work and the human had just to hold the tools at the right angle would have functioned, all a bit downscaled to fit a treetrunk. The document saying in this place by the Schoenach was such a device is dating from 1541 / Hier das Innenleben das demonstriert wie so eine spaetmittelalterliche Schleifhuette mit Wasserkraft am Bach funktioniert hat, etwas verkleinert halt, dass alles in einen Baumstamm passt. Der Mensch stand nur da und hielt seine Werkzeuge im richtigen Winkel an, und der Schleifstein drehte sich gleichmaessig weiter und schaerfte sie. Die Urkunde die erweahnt das Schwabniederhofen da sowas stehen hatte ist von 1541.
