The Obere Papiermühle is the younger of the two former paper mills around Feuerbach. A Thuringian papermaker brought the craft to the village in 1713 . After the already existing Heinrichsmühle had been converted into a paper mill, a competing company arose in 1773 with the Oberen Papiermühle am Sambach. It was headed by Wilhelm Eberhard and fell victim to industrialization in 1862 .
