history

The hamlet of Mühlhausen was first mentioned in 1375.

In 1474 the lords of Jungingen donated goods in Mühlhausen to the Liggersdorf parish . At least one farm was owned by the Salem Monastery in 1563 . The hamlet suffered badly during the Thirty Years' War . In 1637 at least one court of the Teutonic Order (Hohenfels rulership) is reported as "completely burned down, not inhabited". The lower jurisdiction belonged partly to the Petershausen Monastery and partly to the Teutonic Order. The monastery acquired high jurisdiction from the county of Heiligenberg in 1776 and the order in 1784 .

With the secularization , the Petershauser part with two courts fell to Baden , the mediatization of the Teutonic Order, however, brought the third court (each with the corresponding fields) to the Principality of Hohenzollern-Sigmaringen . The result of the curious border situation was that the hamlet partly belonged to the municipality of Selgetsweiler and partly to Herdwangen - and thus at times even belonged to various independent states, later countries. A total of six Hohenzollern exclaves, some of them from individual field plots, had to be marketed with boundary stones. The two, later three Baden courtyards formed their own local community within the Herdwangen joint municipality until 1924 and only lost their independence after the district office decreed. The situation was only rectified when the Hohenzollern part of the village was reorganized from Selgetsweiler to Herdwangen in 1969. Even today some old boundary stones, the oldest from 1779, remind of the former "split" of the hamlet by a national border.

Together with Herdwangen, the town then became part of the Herdwangen-Schönach community during the 1974 community reform .
