    The mill was first mentioned in documents in 1686 as the "Schiff Mühle auf dem Muldestrohm" near Schwemsal.[1] Originally, the Schiffmühle belonged to the alum mine, today's Bad Düben district of Alaunwerk, and was therefore called Bergschiffmühle, a shortened form of Bergwerks-Schiffmühle.[2] Until 1905, it served as a grain mill on the Mulde with two German grinding gears and one pointed gear. In 1905, a new building was built to become a floating power station with 110 volts direct current, and the grinding mills in the farmstead of the miller Paul Griehl were driven by an electric line. Another reconstruction in 1922 and 1923 enabled a transmission drive to the newly built mill building on the banks of the Mulde. The Mulde flood on July 10, 1954[3] destroyed the transmission and the fence of the mill. After the mill was fitted with an electric drive again in 1955, the mill could be restarted. Heavy ice drift on the Mulde in 1956 caused further damage, and the mill operation on the Mulde was stopped.[1] From 1964 to 1967, the Bergschiffmühle was secured and rebuilt in the former moat of Düben Castle, and on October 6, 1967, it was put into operation as a technical monument.[1] On August 13, 2002[3], the Bergschiffmühle was completely submerged in water due to the flood of the century. In 2002 and 2003, it was rebuilt in the moat of Düben Castle with the old gear parts in the same condition as in 1905. Since the 10th German Mill Day in 2003, the large paddle wheel has been turned by electric motor on special occasions.[2]
