The Mittelmühle was first mentioned in 1656. It was one of three mills in the village. Until 1937, a mill wheel turned here to generate power, later a diesel generator and a turbine instead of the wooden wheel generated energy until operations stopped in 1958.
The old mill wheel was renewed in the 1990s and the mill is now used to generate energy. There is a generator inside the mill for this purpose.
