The Duke Christoph the Strong (1450–1493), who resided in Schongau, ran a sawmill in what is now the center of Unterobland and Oberobland .

The Association for Workers' Colonies in Bavaria acquired the Herzogsägmühle property from 1894 to 1905.
time of the nationalsocialism
In 1935, responsibility for the management in Herzogsägmühle (and in Simonshof) was transferred to the National Association for Hiking and Homeland Service (LVW) as part of the National Socialist compulsory care. Herzogsägmühle is run as the "Zentralwanderhof HSM".
The LVW later moved its administration to Herzogsägmühle. Herzogsägmühle served as a point of contact for the allocation to the other offices of the LVW: “The largest farm, the Herzogsägmühle, primarily serves as a collection and screening station, as a hospital and retraining center ... Within each hiking and home courtyard are the individual ones Different types of people. The sighting and screening are basically carried out in close cooperation between welfare and police, with our public and prison doctor playing a key role. ”The managers were Hans Lehner (1936–1939 and 1942–1945), Hans Wildschütte (1939–1942) and Friedrich Goller (1942–1945) worked to support Hans Lehner, especially in setting up the youth welfare department.
The inmates of the Herzogsägmühle had to do forced labor ; Of these, 376 men died of undersupply, seven killed themselves, 30 died of unknown causes and 14 died in the Dachau concentration camp after being transferred there.

Four buildings in the village are listed . Sports and leisure facilities as well as wide fields and forests surround the village.
