Untere Papiermühle, Historic paper mill in Treuchtlingen, Germany
The Untere Papiermühle stands as a two-story building with a gable roof at the intersection of Schambach Valley and Altmühltal, east of Treuchtlingen.
Between 1749 and 1786, French Huguenot Jacob Christoph Quinat owned the mill and constructed the current building between 1764 and 1765.
The building features a St. George's coat of arms with Quinat's initials, and papers produced there carried his 'IC Q' watermark from 1770.
Located at 422 meters above sea level, the former paper mill sits within the administrative district of Treuchtlingen in Middle Franconia.
The mill required 500 hundredweights of rags annually for paper production, with supplies coming from local merchants including a trader from Möhren.
