The Avenstroth mill, also called Sundernmühle, is one of the oldest watermills on the Dalke in Gütersloh's urban area. The exact time of origin cannot be determined, but it may go back to the 6th or 8th century.
It is the only fully operational watermill on the Dalke in Gütersloh. As a leaseholder, master miller Siegfried Friese operates the grinding mill and runs a feed store.

Today's Sundernmühle opposite the Parkbad is one of the oldest watermills on the Dalke in Gütersloh. Their exact date of origin cannot be determined, but it may go back to the 6th or 8th century. During this time, several farms emerged in the heath and wasteland areas of what is now East Westphalia, including the Meierhof Avenstroth. The Hofmühle on the right bank of the Dalke initially belonged to the diocese of Osnabrück before Count Konrad zu Tecklenburg and Herr zu Rheda bought it in 1532.
