Memorial stone of the lost village of Kindingen

The disappeared village of Kindingen
In the name of the oldest Siebeldingen mills, the disappeared village of Kindingen, which was once located between Siebeldingen and Godramstein and went under around 1500, is said to live on.
The only remnant of this village is said to be the former mill building. Other traces of this former settlement are no longer recognizable. The town has experienced a surprising number of spellings: Kintingen, Kyntingen, Gintingen, Kuntingen, Köntingen, Küntigen, Kindingen, Geitingen.
The beginnings of the mill are dated back to the Hohenstaufen times. One found a written mention of Kindingen / the mill from the year 1302, a second one from the year 1307.
In olden times, the mill belonged to the church property of St. Jost in Dernbach and, as an inheritance from the Salian emperors, came into the possession of the bishops of Speyer and later of the Hornbach monastery, until it probably passed into private ownership around 1794.
Historically competent experts are convinced that the Kindinger Mühle is the mysterious double mill of Siebeldingen. In the house wall on the Queichufer of the Kindinger Mühle, two sandstone-framed openings were found at a suitable distance, in which two water wheel axles may have been attached.
The milling operation was stopped before the war (1937) and a threshing operation was still maintained
The idyllic mill building, close to nature and far from the hustle and bustle of the village of Siebeldingen, is now only used as a residential building.
