The following article can be found about the mill:

The first documented mention of Finkenau was on April 4, 1418, when Hans Mullner wanted to lease the "Vinckenmul".[2] In 1451, the abbot of the Saalfeld monastery enfeoffed the Lords of Rosenau with Finkenau, which was expanded into a manor house. From 1485, the place was part of the Electorate of Saxony, from which the Duchy of Saxe-Coburg later emerged. In 1507, the Lords of Rosenau sold the mill and in 1609 Wilhelm von Streitberg bought the manor. In 1612, Duke Johann Casimir declared the property an allod, the free property of the Streitbergs. In the course of the Thirty Years' War, Finkenau was destroyed by imperial troops in 1634.
