Mill charge and mill money (mill charge; grinding impost)

In the past, the commercial operators of a mill had to pay a tax in cash (water rate: payment for the use of water power). Water bodies were considered state property. The use of the water by businesses was therefore subject to a levy. – The amount added to the miller’s wages for grinding grain in a mill (Mühlakzise, Mahlsteuer, in old documents also Muhlter). – See weighing fee, water fee.
