history

In 1347 the place name for Tunne bi der Müline is mentioned for the first time . In 1462 the Undern Dunn mill appears . The name is derived from folk etymology from the "sound" (noise) of the glems, which has a steeper gradient here. The reference to the name Anton (short form Tonne / Tunne ) is more likely .

The mill was renewed in 1789. It originally had three water wheels that were fed by a 330 m long canal branched off to the left of the Glems. In 1888 the three waterwheels were replaced by a single overshot waterwheel with a diameter of 3.60 m and a width of 1.60 m. In 1901 a larger water wheel was used. It was 4 m high, 1.68 m wide, had a 4 m gradient and delivered a raw power of 7.2 HP with a water inflow of 135 l / s. At that time the mill had three grinding courses and a tanning course, furthermore a core cleaning shop, as well as facilities for operating a threshing machine, a fodder cutting machine, a firewood saw and a fruit grinder. In 1937 a diesel engine with 12 to 14 hp was installed to support the hydropower. In 1983 the water wheel was shut down and instead an Ossberger turbine with a 700 l / s swallowing capacity and 29.9 hp maximum output was put into operation in a newly built turbine house .

The mill works today with three simple roller mills , a double roller mill and a whole grain mill. She specializes in the production of organic products . The grinding capacity is (as of 1997) 20 tons in 24 hours. The products are sold to bakeries, natural wholesalers and the pasta industry as well as to private customers. A mill shop is available.
