As early as 1296, there are reports of the Gailenbacher mill located directly on the Schmutter. The aristocratic Chunrat von Gamlunbach put a grinding servant on his mill. Later the mill was owned by Augsburg patricians and citizens, including Peter von Argon. In 1442 Peter von Argon put the miller Joseph Assum on the mill, unfortunately he suffered from a chronic shortage of money and robbed strangers who stayed overnight in his mill. Until one day he got into a veteran soldier who was also robbed, but when he noticed the theft, he went back to the mill and paid the miller back with a good beating.
The buildings date from 1898. In March 1933 a fire broke out in the farm buildings of the mill, parts of the property could be saved, but the coach house and the barn were completely destroyed and the stable partially destroyed.
In the last few decades the mill has repeatedly been the scene of severe floods, but various construction measures have significantly improved flood protection in recent years. The mill is no longer in operation and the buildings have been rented to several traders.
