Bottmühle
Bottmühle is the name of a former wind and grain mill in Cologne's old town south .
history
The Bottmühle is located between the Bayenturm and the Severinstorburg , but is not part of the medieval city wall (Cologne) . Between 1550 and 1552 the Italian fortress builder Alessandro Pasqualini built a weir or rampart platform ("Bott") behind the city wall, which was supposed to modernize the medieval city wall as a gun position. Pasqualini also worked on the Cologne fortifications until his death in 1559. When the corn lords were asked to build a windmill on the site behind St. Severin in 1587 , they commissioned Peter von Gleuel, who had qualified for it in Holland, to build it for 500 guilders. A wooden windmill ( post mill ) was built, which was completed in February 1588. Town stone mason Arnold von Gülich replaced it between June 1677 and July 1678 with a stone tower windmill with a lower archway and arched windows. Gülich built the mill according to old plans by Pasqualini, who had been involved in the construction of the Cologne defenses since 1520.
The four-story, round tower is located on an elevated surface and is surrounded by a green area that slopes steeply to street level, on which the rest of the 60-meter-long city wall stands. The city of Cologne sold the Pantaleons and Bottmühle to private individuals in 1832. Since 1879 at the latest, the mill was in the private ownership of Jakob Flammerheim, who restored it until 1883. From 1911 the Bottmühle housed the traditional corporations of ATV Markomannia-Westmark and various student connections resulting from dissolutions and integrations until 1945. Since 1921 it has belonged to the city of Cologne. After 1945, the British military administration handed the Bottmühle over to the "Deutsche Jungenschaft " for youth work. The falcons have been based there since 1970. The Bottmühle has been a listed building since July 1, 1980. It was renovated and ivy removed by July 2011.
