history
The oldest part of today's Bretmühle is the residential building from 1537. The mill was first mentioned in 1609. The buildings were built as a hammer mill and sawmill and expanded into a farm. In the middle of the 19th century a restaurant with a small brewery was established. The brewery was demolished along with some farm buildings in 1950.
Originally the mill belonged to the municipality of Nitschareuth . With the formation of the community Neumühle / Elster on January 1, 1960, it became a district of the same. On December 31, 2019, the municipality of Neumühle / Elster was incorporated into Greiz, which also brought the Bretmühle to Greiz.

Today's stable and barn complex was built around 1950. Around 1980 the boxing stables, the running stables and the stallion stables were built. The latter is now used as a children's holiday camp.
traffic
The Bretmühle is connected to Greiz to the south via the copper hammer. For a long time, the direct route to Neumühle was only passable via a ford . On November 10, 2005, the Bretmühle Bridge was set up here. The Elster cycle path leads over here through the Bretmühle. On the opposite side of the White Elster, the L 2344 leads from Greiz to Knottengrund .
