history

The roots of the Bausmühle lie in a grinding dome operated by the grinder Johann Baus at the site of the later fruit mill . Baus already operated the neighboring Bauskotten. In the map series Topographia Ducatus Montani by Erich Philipp Ploennies , Blatt Amt Solingen , from the year 1715, this Kotten is recorded without a name. He belonged to the Itter Honschaft within the Solingen office. The topographical survey of the Rhineland from 1824 and the Prussian first survey from 1844 also show the Kotten unlabeled.

The Kotten or Mühlgebäude, a small half-timbered house with a high quarry stone base under a mansard hipped roof , was probably built in 1728. The son of Johann Baus, the mayor of Gräfrath and businessman Johann Peter Baus, converted the Kotten into a grinding mill in 1766/67.

After the Mairien and later mayor's offices were founded at the beginning of the 19th century, the building mill belonged to the Wald mayor's office . 1815/16 lived 20 in 1830, 23 people in a hamlet called construction mill . In 1832 the place was part of the first village honors within the mayor's office forest, there it was in the corridor II. ( Wood ). The place, which was categorized as a fruit mill according to the statistics and topography of the Düsseldorf administrative district , had a public building, three residential buildings, a mill and two agricultural buildings at that time. At that time twelve people lived in the place, one of them Catholic and eleven Protestant denominations. The municipality and estate district statistics of the Rhine Province list the place in 1871 with two houses and eleven inhabitants. In the municipality lexicon for the Rhineland province from 1888, two houses with 15 inhabitants are given for Bausmühle. In 1895 the district had two houses with 14 inhabitants, in 1905 two houses and 13 inhabitants are given.

To the north-east of the mill, by the Eschbach estate, there was a mill pond that was later drained. With the town union of Groß-Solingen in 1929, the building mill became part of Solingen. The grinding operation was stopped in 1942 and the mill was converted into a residential building. In 1968, two feature films were shot on the site of the Bausmühle with the world is still in order at seven in the morning and When the moonlight sleeps sweetly on the hills . The former mill building with the address Kotzerter 11, 11a is since 22 January 1985 monument .
