The origins of the Zschonermühle probably date back to the 15th century. In 1570 the miller Gregor Götze told Elector August that the mill had been owned by his late wife's family for over 150 years. The current building structure was rebuilt (probably after a fire) in 1730, as evidenced by the name on the gable of the main house. In 1812 the mill became the property of the Kunze family. Daniel Gottfried Kunze names an inscription plate above the main house as the new owner. The Zschonermühle also developed into a popular excursion restaurant at the end of the 19th century. August Bebel, who spoke to Dresden workers in the bar garden, was one of the mill visitors at the time. Grinding was finally stopped in 1917, but the grinding technology was retained. After the end of the Second World War, the inn was closed. The last mill owner of the Kunze family left a dilapidated mill estate after his death in 1984. However, the first backup work was carried out in the 1980s. After a sale, the gradual reconstruction of the property was carried out in line with the listed monuments. In 1991, a new oversized water wheel with a diameter of 6 meters and an output of six horsepower was installed. The reconstructed grinder was put into operation in 1994. Today the mill is used as a restaurant, museum and for various events (cabaret with theater, cinema and puppet show).
