Scherneck was first mentioned in 1225 as "Scherneke."[2][3] The operation of a mill on the Itz River is documented in 1253. Source: https://de.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Scherneck_(Untersiemau) The mill in Scherneck is now the Carl Mill, a family business that has been producing high-quality flour for the region for decades, combining tradition with modern technology. While the current mill looks back on a long history in the Coburg region, the first mentions of mills in the region can be traced back to the early 13th century, with watermills playing a central economic role.
