Carl Bolbrügge was married to Elisabeth Stypmann, who was born in Bützow and came from an old Mecklenburg legal family, and had a son with her, Carl Bolbrügge (* Grabow 1893, † Bonn 1968), who died after the early death of his father in 1899 at the age of six Grand Duke should be appointed the seventh and last hereditary miller.

The mill complex built in 1831 according to the latest technology as a grain , oil and fulling mill was constantly expanded, enlarged and rebuilt under the technical management of Carl Bolbrügge, especially in the two major expansion phases of 1888 and 1897/98. Between 1868 and 1870 he had the six water wheels replaced by three water turbines and added a steam engine to the drive in 1888. The operation of the mill led the Bolbrügge family to great prosperity. Around 1880 she was referred to as one of the richest families in Mecklenburg.

Erbmühle and Erbmüller family Bolbrügge

The Bolbrügge family came into possession of the Grabower watermill in 1717 through a long lease with Duke Karl Leopold zu Mecklenburg-Schwerin and ran it through seven generations of Erbmüller until it was expropriated in the GDR. Electricity was also produced since 1923. In 1930 during the Great Depression, the mill ran into economic difficulties.

In 1951 the Bolbrügge family was expropriated and the mill became public-owned. As part of Elde-Mühle Parchim, it continued to work until 1998. Today the listed complex in the old town of Grabow is empty. Even today, hydropower is only used to generate electricity . Along with Bad Kleinen and Neu Kaliß, the Grabower Mühle is the largest mill complex in Mecklenburg-Western Pomerania. The yellow and red clinker buildings stand together with the Bolbrügge residential building from 1861 on the horse market and on the mill island behind it between Mühlengraben and Alter Elde . From the outside, they are essentially in the same condition as Carl Bolbrügge left them after the last major renovation in 1898.

The burial chapel of the Bolbrügge family in the Grabower cemetery is one of the architectural monuments of the Ludwigslust-Parchim district . The baptismal stand of the Grabow town church St. Georg was donated by the Bolbrügge family in 1785, as was the Luther picture later in the same church.
