Grand Duke Friedrich Wilhelm had Mecklenburg's largest watermill at that time built in 1894 by his chief architect Adolf Prahst on the Warnow. It was initially driven by two undershot water wheels; a steam engine was added at the beginning of the 20th century.

From 1941 the mill belonged to D. Propp KG, which processed rye and wheat there into flour. Owing to state restrictions, the owners had to give up the business in 1958.

Since then, the technical monument has decayed.

After the reunification, the conversion to a residential complex failed. However, the structure was provisionally secured until the end seemed sealed after the tornado in May 2015. However, a generous financial injection from the monument protection made necessary renovations possible.

Today, the owner is looking for people interested in their mill and hopes that it will be used in a new way that corresponds to the dignity of the monument.

The portage here at the weir is super laid out and nice and short. In addition, there is the beautiful old building and the ice pavilion. Nice place!
