history
In the past, the Mühlgraben at its mouth fed the Habichsthaler Dorfmühle. The communal mill was allowed to be used by every citizen on his own meal day. If there was not enough headwater, more water was fed to the mill wheel through a wooden canal. This rises in the middle of the slope up the valley on the Aubach.
A part of the Mühlgrabenwasser was directed at the lower reaches into an artificial irrigation ditch , the Schwedels- or Schwedlesgab, which ended in the Schwedlesrain corridor .
