This waterwheel did not move millstones, but provided the power to drive machines. The first concession for hydropower was granted in 1837. In 1891, the wood-turner Andreas and Georg Hommel acquired the property on the Mühlbach, which had not been in operation for a few years. They wanted to create a new bike, but went bankrupt. Only the new owner, ivory manufacturer Konrad Kayser from Geislingen, was able to have a new, larger water wheel installed in 1897. However, this would have decayed and decayed long ago if it were not constantly maintained by the city of Süßen.
