The former Blobach Mill was built in 1313 and had its location next to the Outer Frauentor. Initially, it was used as a grinding mill. Its use as a wool spinning mill and finally as a mechanical knitting mill (1898) followed. Due to a fire in 1983, the building had to be demolished. It was rebuilt as a clinker brick building with apartments (Johannisstr. 18 / Blobach 1). If you take a closer look at the building, you can discover a symbolic mill wheel on the facade.

The former barley mill got its name from the production of barley. It was located at Sondershäuser Straße 1 and was situated on the mill race, outside the city wall. The production process from wheat and barley grains was similar to the production of groats. Therefore the mill was also known as "Hafergrützmühle". In 1774 a water wheel was added to the existing house. Later, the mill was used for many purposes, as a hemp mill, spice mashing mill, paint mill and bone mill. In September 2000 the building was demolished.

The former Große Steinbrückenmühle was first mentioned in 1305 and was one of the largest mills in the city, with its own millrace. The name was given in reference to the nearby Ammer Bridge (then made of stone). Built as a grinding mill, it was later used for other trades. In 1594, the first copper hammer in Mühlhausen was installed here. In the course of history there were numerous floods and flood damage to the mill and the weir. During the 30-year war, the mill served as soldiers' quarters. From 1905, a construction business and building material trade settled on the site. In 1918 a turbine was installed. From 1969 the association of the painter's trade and today car paint shop can be found here. The present site is one of the best preserved mills in the city.

The former field mill is first mentioned as a grinding mill in 1379. In the middle of the 18th century the mill was equipped with a sluice. However, the weir and the sluice were swept away several times by floods. In 1850, the mill was converted into a yarn spinning mill, which was operated with the help of a steam engine from 1870. In 1914, a bridge was built over the millrace, the railing of which is still in place today (Friedrich-Naumann-Straße/ corner of Margaretenstraße). In the 1930s, a worsted spinning and dyeing mill was located on the site. The building was demolished in 1997 and a residential and commercial centre was built here.

In 1250, the Pfuhlbrückenmühle (Hanfsackmühle) was mentioned for the first time, making it the oldest inner-city mill in the city. It was used as a grinding and tanning mill. It was damaged in a town fire in 1487 and burned down completely in a fire in 1660.

In 1665 it was rebuilt as a hemp sack mill. In the town fire of 1689 it burned down again and was subsequently rebuilt. From 1876 a steam boiler was installed. In 1890 the mill was shut down and partially demolished. In 1984, a fire also destroyed the rest of the building. Today, a bridge can be found on the former site.

The first mention of the former chain mill was in 1418. It was used for metalworking (chain mail, armour, etc.). Later it was used as a grinding and yarn spinning mill. In 1864, the chain mill was the first mill in the city to be converted to steam engine power. In 1894 the building was destroyed by fire. A residential building now stands on the former site.

The former Kleine Steinbrückenmühle was located directly opposite (behind) the große Steinbrückenmühle, on the other side of the millrace. It was built around 1614 as a grinding mill. In 1862 it was converted into a wool mill and spinning mill. From 1910 the mill wheels were removed and a turbine was installed. The building was later converted into a residential house. Today, no parts of the building are left, only a wall directly on the mill race bears witness to the former mill.

The former tan mill was driven by the oil ditch (Breitsülze old run). It was built in 1858 and had one of the highest gradients. In 1862 the building was damaged during a thunderstorm. From 1864 the building housed a steam spinning mill, which was operated with the help of a steam boiler. From 1912, the premises housed an agricultural enterprise. In 1954 the mill wheel was dismantled. In 1956 one could still see the weirs.

The former Malzmühle is also known as the Brücken- or Entenbühlmühle. It was first mentioned in 1252 and is thus one of the oldest mills in the city centre. Its use over time has also always remained the same. It was always a malt mill. In 1914, however, the mill was demolished to make way for something new. In its place, the Entenbühl fountain was built in 1937, which can still be seen today and is a secluded spot with benches for relaxation.

The former Meißners Mill was first mentioned in 1388. It was located on the Schwemmnotte and was thus one of the old town mills. Unfortunately, it fell victim to a city fire in 1689 and burned down completely. It was then rebuilt as a grinding mill. In 1885 it was closed down for a short time. Shortly thereafter, however, it continued to be used as a lime mill. The former building at Meißnersgasse 7 was demolished in 1989.

This mill was first mentioned in 1526. About 1820 it was used as a machine mill. In 1893 its owner Karl Werner added an annexe at the west side, housing a boiler. In 1922, the Karlswerk GmbH, a metal goods factory, was erected here. It featured an iron foundry with a cupola furnace. The mill building was torn down in 1986.

As a special feature, the former paper mill had its own millrace, which was branched off from the Unstrut and fed back in. Around 1450, the mill was first mentioned as an ironworks. In 1586 the then fulling mill was destroyed by high water, which even swept away the Ammer bridge. In 1602 the reconstruction and the versatile use as a grinding, polishing, leather fulling, brick, oil, wood and washing mill took place. In 1829 an uncle of Johann August Röbling converted the mill into a paper mill. In 1851 the mill was converted into a spinning mill. In 1865, a steam boiler was installed. Numerous floods of the Unstrut, partly also the slipping of the embankment, and fires characterize the further history of the mill. In 1924 a turbine was installed. In 1970 the mill was nationalized and became part of the VEB Textilwerke Mühlhausen. The demolition of the building took place in 2002/2003 and a reconstruction as a care facility in 2011.

The former pepper mill was built in 1371. It was first used as a mustard mill and later as a grinding and spice mill. From 1751 it worked as a fulling, tanning and washing mill. In 1858 a steam boiler was installed and in 1890 the water wheel was dismantled. The demolition of the building and the construction of new buildings on the site (today's Jakobiviertel) took place in 1987. The former door lintel was preserved and is now located in the Lapidarium behind the Kornmarkt Church.

The history of the former powder mill is unknown. It was first mentioned in 1620. It was probably only operated as a powder mill for a short time, as it would have been too dangerous due to its proximity to the city centre. Later the mill was used as a stamping mill for dyeing wood. In 1895 the mill became municipal property. Today it is no longer preserved.

The former Rabin Mill is one of the little known mills in the town. It existed only for a short time and was located near the great lime tree in the Johannistal. It was built around 1700 and named after the former owner with the name Rabinz. As it was not situated near a stream, it was powered by a spring. Unfortunately, this dried up after an earthquake.

The former Rote Löwenmühle was built in 1502 and initially used as a paper mill. However, due to severe water pollution, it was converted into a grinding mill in 1580. Later it was converted into a tanning and spinning mill. From 1902 the mill belonged to the property of an iron foundry. In the years 1958-1965 the mill technology was dismantled. Today the millstone is exhibited in the foyer of the town hall. The building was later used by VEB Blech- und Biegemaschinen. Since 1994, the building has increasingly fallen into disrepair and was finally demolished in 2007. Today there is a residential park on the former site.

The mill at the Popperode Creek was first mentioned as the “Popperode Mill” in 1290. After its reconstruction and overhaul in 1546 it was henceforth known as the “Cutting Mill”. In 1786 a fulling mill was added, and later on an oil mill. From 1821 on two overshot water wheels were used to power the milling system. In 1880 a spinnery was operating here at the mill, which was demolished in 1896. Today the site houses the arts venue Schwanenteich (swan pond).

The former Stegmühle was located in the present-day district of Mühlhausen, in Görmar, and was situated on the so-called Mühlgraben. It is most likely the mill mentioned in the document from the Mühlhausen Imperial City Archive from 1139. It was used as a grinding, oil and tanning mill.

The mill got its name from a footbridge that crossed the Unstrut River at its location. In 1991, the mill building was demolished. Today, there are residential buildings on the former site.

The so-called Untere Dorfmühle was located in Görmar, which is now part of Mühlhausen. It was located close to a stone bridge over the Unstrut and was therefore also called the stone bridge mill. It was used as a grinding mill and a rolling mill. From 1802 it was listed in a survey as an oil mill. In 1883 it was converted into a wool yarn spinning mill. For many years there was industrial use on the site, which lasted until modern times. In 1990 the buildings were still used as a warehouse. In 1997 the demolition took place.

The former windmill on the Mühlhäuser Stadtberg was located on today's Goetheweg. It was built in 1859 as a Dutch tower windmill and was made of bricks. It was operated as a mill until 1890. In 1904 a coffee, milk and cake shop opened. In the 80s of the 20th century it was supposed to be used for gastronomy again, but this project was not realized. After the fall of the Berlin Wall, the building increasingly fell into disrepair and was renovated and converted into a residential building in 2004. With the preservation, at least a fragment of Mühlhausen mill history could be visibly preserved.

The former fulling mill was located in what is now a district of Mühlhausen, in Görmar. Görmar is also located on the Unstrut. The fulling mill was located on a side arm of the millrace in front of the Unstrut weir in Görmar. The manufactured whale goods belonged to the drapery trade. Even in the 19th century the mill was still used as a fulling mill. However, the mill operation ended at the latest with a sale in 1925. The building was extended and rebuilt in the years around 1990 and now houses a residential building.

The former brick mill was located at the Unstrut branch before the Wendewehr, an official "Mühlgraben" of about 1.6 km in length. At the Mühlgraben once 5 mills had their trade. In 1355 the brick mill was established, which had the grinding of raw clay as its trade. The name of the brick street, which is mentioned for the first time in 1604, can be traced back to the brick mill. There is no evidence of a brickworks or brickyard. The naming of the Wendewehr, as the "Ziegelmüllerswehr" is also traced back to the brick mill. Already in 1577 the mill no longer existed.
