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.

The Prethalmühle has its origins in a high medieval imperial estate and was first mentioned in a document in 1360. It was destroyed in the Thirty Years War in 1635. The current residential building dates from 1643. For centuries the mill was used to grind flour, but it was also used as a sawmill.

In the course of industrialization, it was converted to produce electricity for the energy-intensive operation of a copper foil factory. Until well into the middle of the 20th century it supplied the nearby town of Prackenfels with direct current. Today the ecologically generated electricity is fed directly into the grid.

In 2008 the former Gasthaus der Mühle was one of the seven objects in the district of Nürnberger Land that received an award when the district of Middle Franconia was awarded a monument at the time.
