The history of the Rückinger Mühle dates back to the 14th century. The most important milestones include: the documented mention in 1667, its operation as a grist mill for the flour brand „Kinzigstolz“ until a major fire in 1959, and the conversion to green electricity generation using Francis shaft turbines in 1961. (Note: The abbreviation „KI“ has no historical significance in the history of this mill; in the modern context, „NaTourHuKi“ simply stands for a nature and culture project on the Kinzig).
