The mill was first mentioned indirectly in a document in 1328 and 1595. Your name comes from an operator called Schreck . In 1629 it is mentioned as being owned by the Grünau Charterhouse . Around 1700 the newer mill is built by the Triefenstein Monastery , which leads to legal disputes between the two monasteries over the property.

The Wiesmann family has been known as the tenant of one, and later both, mills since the middle of the 18th century . In 1773 they could not hold the second mill. Until 1803 the mill was still owned by the Grünau monastery . Between 1805 and 1820, the mills were reunited in the hands of the Wiesmann family and in their possession. Around 1854 the old Bachmühlen were abandoned and replaced by a water wheel located in the building.

Around 1882 the mill building was rebuilt or rebuilt in its current form. It was modernized as an art mill by 1889 . 1910 with a steam engine for low water continued to improve, done in 1936, a mill conversion with new roller mills and plan sifter and the replacement of the water wheel through a turbine and 1948 further modernization. In 1961 a restaurant was opened in the mill.

In 1983 a new turbine was installed and from 1986 the water power was used again to generate electricity (two-chamber flow turbine ). Another profound modernization of the last still active grinding and grain mill in Haslochtal took place at the end of the 1980s / beginning of the 1990s through a major renovation: almost complete automation (control of the grinding via a central switchgear (PLC control)) and capacity expansion (new indoor silo ), new plansifters and new roller mills as well as conversion of all machines to individual drives.
