Thin mill

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The Dünnmühle or Lommertzenmühle and also the Neue Mühle was initially a Pleißmühle , then a full mill and finally a paper mill in the Gronau district of Bergisch Gladbach an der Strunde .

history

The mill was originally one of the many Pleißmühlen on the Strunde, which is mentioned in 1589 as a fulled leather mill . In 1773 it was still a full mill (leather fulling mill) with an undershot water wheel and a water gradient of four feet eight inches . In 1807 Johann Wilhelm Lommertzen came to the Dünnmühle through the marriage of the widow Gertrud Kaesbach. By this time it had sunk down to a barley mill. Lommertzen had the old peeling mill converted into a paper mill in 1818 . He now called it the New Mill. Lommertzen had paper with the watermark WL produced here for ten years . On January 4, 1828, Lommertzen leased the paper mill to his neighbor von der Kieppemühle Karl August Koch for ten years. After the ten-year lease period, Koch acquired the mill as property.

By 1848 at the latest, the mill was no longer working, because in that year Karl August Koch pulled up the water gradient from the Neue Mühle, which was now generally known as Lommertzens Mühle, and from the Piddelbornsmühle to the Kieppemühle. In the 19th century, the Dünnmühle was extended and rebuilt several times until the Poensgen family had the existing building converted into a spacious villa at the beginning of the 20th century. This house was later included in the demolition of the Kieppemühle. Today the former Strundeufer is overgrown with trees at this point, but the outline of the house can still be guessed at. To the south opposite is a large concrete rainwater retention basin .
