After the Hirschberg Counts with Gebhard VII died out in 1305, "Chratzhusen di müle" was awarded to the Eichstätt Monastery . In 1442 Wilhelm Schenk von Stossenberg sold the mill to the keeper of Brunneck , Dietrich Baiersdorfer. It was returned to the Hochstift by Sebastian Baiersdorfer in 1479. In 1483 a Jörg Kratzhauser zu Kratzhausen was named. In the period that followed, the mill owners changed frequently. In the 17th century, the scraper was not just a grinding mill, but also a saw.

In 1888 the Prinstner brewery from Beilngries bought the mill and from 1896 also used it as a hydroelectric power station to generate electricity. In 1927, as part of the Altmühl regulation, today's Altmühl weir was built; the turbine, which has been running since 1928, is still in use today. The flour mill was shut down in 1966.

In 1976 the Kratzmühle holiday village was built, the lake was expanded into a bathing lake and a campsite was set up. In the former mill complex, a technology museum is housed, among other things, on an area of ​​1,300 square meters, supported by the cultural history association Beilngries-Kinding eV
