In 1714, an "Erbbestandsbrief" (document establishing a hereditary trading place)("Erbbestand" is a uniquely German land tenure arrangement in which ownership rights and usage rights are separated; this is forbidden by law in modern Germany) was first issued for a small mill north of the village. This mill was refurbished before 1800 and expanded with a farming operation. It never had anything more than local importance, though, because there was only ever enough water to drive it in the winter months. The mill closed about 1930, and torn down in 1958-1959.
