The Klieve mill was built in 1818. It originally had a roof covered with wooden shingles. The roof hood was rotatable. This was made possible by an iron roller bearing, which was located on the upper edge of the mill tower. At the back of the roof there was a wind rosette, which automatically turned the blades into the wind by means of a gear train. Therefore, the miller did not have to interrupt the grinding process when the wind changed, and grinding was possible even when there was little wind. Inside the mill there were three floors of millwork consisting of thick heavy wooden beams and wooden gears, frames and jigs.

The mill also had a nearby miller's house, which was demolished in 1941. The mill was shut down around 1990. With the shutdown, decay set in. Thus, around the turn of the century, the wings had to be dismantled and by 1942, the roof hood was destroyed and the inner beams became rotten. In 1979, extensive restoration measures were undertaken. Work began on clearing the structure, especially the arch, of overgrowth and removing the mostly rotten beams still present inside with the help of a crane truck. In September 1986, work began on reassembling the roof of the Wundmühle. Since October 1, 1984, the Klieve mill has been a listed building.
