It is one of the few remaining buildings in the Waldshut district after the Thirty Years' War . The Tröndle family of millers became known and is associated with the history of the saltpeter . The pastor and local researcher Jakob Ebner researched the history of the mill in detail in his book Eine Müllerdynastie im Schwarzwald , published in 1910 . From 1977 the mill was restored and the grinding gear was put into operation and a mill museum was set up. A room with objects and the portrait of the cleaning master Adam Tröndle could be visited.
