Consideraţii istorice asupra morilor plutitoare de pe cursul Someşului. Moara din Lucăceşti, judeţul Maramureş - Studiu de caz

  • Subiect: Historical considerations on the floating mills on the Someş River. The mill from Lucăceşti - case study The first documentary evidence of floating mills in history dates from the 5th century A.D., more precisely from the year 537 in the context of the siege of Rome by the Goths under Witiges' rule. They destroyed the aqueducts which supplied the water mills of the town with the necessary amount of water and in this critical situation, in order to avoid starvation among the inhabitants, grinding equipment supported by two boats were built on the Tiber River. Floating mills developed extensively throughout the Middle Ages in the West of Europe and on the Romanian territory they reached a maximum point of development during the 18th and 19th century. This type of mills represented an ingenious solution - technically speaking - for making full use of the hydrographic and energetic potential of the large rivers (Olt, Mureş, Someş). This is the case of the floating mill from Lucăceşti, Maramureş previously placed on the Someş river and today belonging to the MCPT "ASTRA" Sibiu collection. The floating mill from Lucăceşti, which in the 6th decade of the 20th century still produced high quality flour, was based on a traditional but innovative functioning system, thus using the natural energy of the Someş river to the fullest. This type of mill remains an indisputable proof of the creativity and continue adaptability of the Romanian peasant.
