history

The Broichhausen settlement dates back to a medieval hamlet . It was first mentioned in 1356 as "Brohusen" . In the original cadastre the settlement is mentioned in the plural with the ending "hausen" , from which it can be concluded that it was initially a collective settlement with several farms.

According to the survey of the government district of Cöln , the place categorized as “farm goods” and mill had two houses in 1845. At that time 19 people lived in the village, all of them Catholic faith. In the list of the Kingdom of Prussia for the 1885 census, Broichhausen was listed as the residential area of ​​the rural community of Bensberg in the Mülheim am Rhein district. At that time there were 7 houses with 40 inhabitants. In 1905 there were ten buildings with 55 residents.

The Broichhausen mill was powered by water from the Silberkauler sieve. It was still in use until 1957. Some time later it was leveled by a bulldozer . Parts of the foundation walls and parts of the mill shaft from which the mill wheel was driven have been preserved.
