The Hundsberger sawmill was built between 1500 and 1600 as a ramming mill (for grain) with a medium-sized water wheel. It was later used as a community mill. Until about 1935 it was operated with hydropower. The mill wheel, which fell into disrepair in the 1960s, was replaced in 1980. In 2005 the building was given a new water wheel.
The mill was gradually modernized. However, parts of the transmission from the beginning of the last century are still preserved.
Today the sawmill is powered by electricity.

As a stamp mill for grain, the Hundsberger Sägmühle was built between 1500 and 1600. Later it was used as a community mill. Until about 1935, it was powered by hydropower. The dilapidated mill wheel was replaced in 1980 and then again in 2005 and the mill was modernized. Today, the Hundsberger Sägmühle is powered by electricity.
