history

The place is first mentioned in the middle of the 13th century as Boclo ( beech grove ). In Bokel there had been a forced water mill since 1589 , in which all residents of the parish had to have their grain ground until the middle of the 19th century. In 1832 a windmill was also built because the Bokeler Au did not always have enough water to reliably drive the mill. Today the watermill has become a normal residential building that houses an eel museum.

The memorial near Bokel is a memorial near the site that commemorates three soldiers who were killed in the crash of a Messerschmitt Me 110 during the Second World War .
