The hamlet of Finkenmühle consists of the four-sided farm Finkenmühle and the so-called Hübelhaus, it is located about two kilometers north of Volkmannsdorf and can be reached from there via connecting routes. The forest and numerous ponds in the immediate vicinity of the hamlet in the Southeast Thuringian Slate Mountains are under nature and landscape protection.

The cutting mill located on the southern edge of today's Plothener Teiche nature reserve was located as a four-sided farm (Vorwerk) after the Thirty Years' War in the possession of the manor of Külmla, at that time in the possession of the Lords of Graefendorf and Feilitzsch. [1] In 1785 the Külmlaer knight's estate with the old manor house burned down completely, therefore the owners were in financial need [2]. Older news about this mill are not known. The wealth of forests and the existing hydropower promoted the establishment of forest trades. The lumberjacks needed a cutting mill to recycle the logs that had been felled. The sale of planks and wooden slats was possible all year round. The field names Kohlung for a piece of forest west of the mill and Kienberg for the elevation to the east also attest to the charcoal burner trade and the presence of pine soot burners. Around 1880 the property was sold to the manor in Knau. The Hübelshof, a popular domicile for holiday guests, is being built on the remote settlement square.
