The history of the Strunder mill is marked by a number of functional changes. It was first mentioned in a document as early as 1380 as a fulling mill. There is a mention as a Pleißmühle in "Strundorf" in 1605. In a mention of 1613 it is referred to as a color wood mill and in 1773 as a Follmühle (fulling mill). Today's building fabric dates from 1800.

The water mill was in the night of 23-24. Destroyed by French soldiers in October 1811. In 1821 it was already rebuilt and in operation as a tanning and tobacco mill. The mill was shut down after 1900. According to an old photo from 1906, the undershot water wheel can still be seen, which is no longer there.
After a relatively long period of vacancy and a fire, the architect Franz Sommer acquired the property at an auction in 1966. He renovated the mill building in 1968-1969 and converted it into a residential building (Schulte 1973, p. 200). The Mühlengraben and Mühlenteich are no longer shown on the current edition of the topographical maps.
