Who were the Hilbert brothers that built the mill?

The mill was built in 1868 by the Hilbert brothers, who were prominent local industrialists aiming to revolutionize grain production in Silesia. Their investment resulted in what was then considered the most modern, large-scale grain mill in the region.
