The Eggersheimer Mühle is located in Eggersheim in the Düren am Neffelbach district .
The mill is mentioned for the first time in 1502 as a grain mill on the Neffelbach near Joester UB (Item 3 Morgen hynder der Eggershymer moelen). Another mention can be found in the stock records of the Nörvenich Office in 1551/1552. On February 10, 1778, the mill received an additional license from the Palatinate government for an attached barley peeling plant. It had an undershot water wheel , two grinders and employed two workers. The owner was a Johann Duester from Eggersheim in 1830. From 1920 a Theodor Holz was the owner of the mill, which is why it was also called Holz Möll in parlance . In 1897 a Joseph Badenheuer from Nörvenich ran the mill.
Then after the war, an Emmendörfer family ran the mill, but as tenants . After the end of the lease, they demolished the former train station of the Düren district railway on the site of the Eggersheimer Hof and built and opened a house with a grocery store. But that was a flop, there were already two other shops in the village.
Then a Balthasar Joiressen (spelling unclear) took over the mill for a short time. His widow continued to run the mill until 1938 with the trained miller Bernhard Havermann, who came from northern Germany. Then the Hoß siblings, who ran the Kurfürstenhof in Eggersheim, bought the mill. From 1940 they leased it to Ernst Emmendörfer, who ran the mill until 1951. In 1958 the company was finally shut down.
Most recently, a Mr. Bräunig bought the mill and 'gutted' it. He threw the mill wheel and all sorts of things into the mill stream and filled it.
Remains of the old weir used to divert the mill ditch still exist. In the past the water was dammed about 2 m high there.
