history

Little is known about the eponymous mill of the residential area . It was a grain mill that first appeared cartographically as a mill symbol on the topographic map of the Rhineland in 1825 . Today only the mill moat remains . The Prussian first recording from 1845 shows the living space with a mill symbol, otherwise unlabeled, as well as the Prussian new recording from 1892 and all later measuring table sheets of the official topographic map 1: 25,000 (TK25). As of the 1990 edition, there is no longer a mill symbol on the settlement.

The brook name Naaf , in the 13th century as de Nafe , in 1555 as the Nave , is a river name word of Indo-European origin, the root of which cannot be traced in German . The meaning seems to be neutral flow and is related to the Greek nao (= flow ), Latin nato (= swimme ) , navis (= ship ).

In 1822, 30 people lived together in neighboring Bixnaaf and the mill, which after the collapse of the Napoleonic administration and its replacement, belonged to the Overath mayor in the Mülheim am Rhein district . The place and mill were called Bixnofen . For the year 1830 a total of 36 inhabitants are given for both places. According to the survey of the government district of Cologne in 1845, Bixnaaf and Bixnaafermühle together owned eight residential buildings with 36 inhabitants, all of them Catholic denominations. The municipal and Gutbezirksstatistik the Rhine Province leads Bixnaafermühle 1871 alone in a house and seven residents. In the municipality lexicon for the Rhineland province of 1888, two houses with ten residents are given for Bixnaafermühle. In 1895 the place had two houses with 14 inhabitants and belonged denominationally to the Catholic parish of Marialinden, in 1905 one house and nine inhabitants are given.
