A MILLER AT STORNDORF HESSE GERMANY, THE MILL WAS LEASED FROM THE NOBLE FAMILYOF VON SEEBACH, WHO AT ONETIME OWNED HALF THE VILLAGE OF STORNDORF. THE HERRENMUHLE (NOBLE'S MILL) WAS VERY Large AND HAD BOTH LIVING AND WORKING QUARTERS. ALL OF THE CHILDREN OF CURT HAINER WERE BORN IN THIS BUILDING HOUSING THE OLD MILL.

When young Curt Haner set out by foot to find a mill where he could earna living, he found, sooner or later, the Herrenmuhle in Storndorf, some 18 miles north of Nieder-Moos and Metzlos. There he met and married his wife about 1672; surviving church records for Storndorf (kept in OberBreidenbach) begin in 1673, the year of birth of their eldest child. Curt Haner was buried on 18 February 1713 at Storndorf. His wife, whose first name we do not know, was daughter of Hans and Otilia Schauben. Their ten children are listed in the Storndorf church books; the names of the baptismal sponsors show some early relationships and friendships.

Curdt was a miller in the village of Storndorf, which is a few minutes' drive from the medieval town of Alsfeld in the state of Hesse, about60 miles northeast of Frankfurt. The Schwalm River supplied water power for three mills in and around Storndorf. The mill established by the ruling von Storndorf family in about 1500 was known as the Herrenmuhle, mill of the master; it was leased from the noble Seebach family by Curt Haner who died in 1713 at Storndorf. The Herrenmuhle was a large, long L-shaped building with living quarter and working quarters, so constructed that water in the mill race flowed along the rounded corner of the "L" and on back to the Schwalm. The mill wheel was removed in this century, and only the ancient masonry along the watercourse retains its original form and the building is no longer used as a mill. The masonry was typical of the period around 1500. The mill pond itself has

reverted to a wet, meadowy area since 1967, when the last water wheel ceased turning. The millhas recently been remodeled into an auto repair shop which also sells Toyota cars.
