The mill was first mentioned in documents in 1360 and was completely destroyed in the Thirty Years' War in 1635. The mill was rebuilt in 1643 and has since served as a flour and sawmill. When industrialization began, the mill was converted to produce electricity to maintain an energy-intensive copper foil factory. Today the mill feeds its green electricity directly into the grid.
