The Auer Mühlbach is an approximately seven kilometer long, fed from Isar water and today mostly canalized Munich city stream, in the south of the city of Munich. It runs east of the main arm of the Isar along the edge of the bluff and is classified as a third-class body of water with a constant inflow and outflow of 10 cubic meters per second. Long before Munich was “officially” founded, the water power of the Isar was used to operate mills. Since the Isar was a wild mountain river until it was increasingly regulated from the 19th century, which frequently changed its course and had strong level fluctuations, the mill wheels were not only built in the Munich area not on the unpredictable main arm, but on an adjustable, artificially derived side arm water supply that is as constant as possible, the Mühlbach. The first written mention of the stream and a mill in Kiesingenum (today Untergiesing) can be found in a document from the year 957.

In the first half of the 14th century, the first large Isar weir was built in the south of Munich at the level of the Marienklause on the eastern steep bank of the Isar, forcing the river to the west in order to meet the water needs of the up-and-coming city. Even then, a sluice in the weir regulated the inflow to the Auer Mühlbach.

In addition to the driving force for grain, hammer and fulling mills, sawmills and grinding shops, the Mühlbach and the other city streams also supplied service water for house and garden, for dye works and tanning and for extinguishing the dangerous fires that used to be frequent. At the same time, the streams served to dispose of faeces and waste of all kinds.
