history

The St. Laurentius chapel in Busch was built in 1860. The listed courtyards in Busch No. 2 and No. 4 suggest that the village was agricultural in the 18th century.

The Buschmühle is the only mill on the left side of the Mühlenbach. It belonged to the Beeck domain in the Duchy of Jülich . In 1715 the Buschmühle was a fiefdom of the Wickrath lordship and the imperial barons of Quadt, the Vogt in Mönchengladbach receives the income. In 1822, instead of a pan mill, the oil mill with a wedge press was given a rammer to crush the oil seeds. It was then possible to grind for more than 5 hours a day. After the Second World War , the Buschmühle is the only and last mill in Wegberg that still produces oil. Electric power was used from 1946 until it was shut down in 1953. The last miller is Wilhelm Symes. The grain and oil grinder has been completely preserved and has been functional again since the restoration.
