location

history
It is not known when a mill was first built at this point. A mill already exists on Jakob Sandtner's wooden city model of Munich from 1570 .
The immediate predecessor of today's mill was built in 1703 by Elector Maximilian II. Emanuel as a malt mill for the neighboring Hofbräuhaus am Platzl , which was moved from the Altes Hof to its current location on Platzl in 1607 . On the city map of the Topographic Office from 1806, it extends on the west bank of the Malzmühlbach from the confluence of Germbach and Einüttbach to the Kosttor .
In the 1870s the Royal Malt Mill was sold to private. The old building was replaced with a new one and the mill was converted into a modern flour mill. Eight roller mills were used instead of the old grinding mills . Due to the modern technology, the mill was now allowed to use the designation art mill .
The Hofbräuhaus-Kunstmühle has been owned by the Blum family since 1921, and Stefan Blum took over the business in 2001 . The mill survived the Second World War without major damage.
The Malzmühlbach flowed under the mill until 1967. When it was shut down due to the construction of the subway , the mill wheel was dismantled and the power supply to the mill was switched to electricity. In 1988 a small shop was set up on the ground floor, where the mill products are sold to end users.
After the Kraemer'sche Kunstmühle ceased operations in August 2007, the Hofbräuhaus-Kunstmühle is the last mill to be produced in Munich. From 27 tons of wheat, 22 tons of wheat flour are produced daily .
