[edit] History

On October 27, 758 Strachfried gave as a gift to the monastery of St. Gallen his properties in Müllheim, including the vineyards. This deed is in the archives of St. Gallen and it is where we today can find the first written reference to the "villa Mulinhaimo", which is the current city of Müllheim.

Archealogy shows however that Müllheim was inhabited even prior to this. During the renovation of the Martins-church in 1980 and 1981 the workers came upon a portion of a Roman villa. It is assumed that it is the center of large Roman belongings in the region.
