The Eipringhauser Mühle is a former mill on the Eifgenbach and is located in Wermelskirchen , west of Süppelbach, north of the eponymous place Eipringhausen , on the road from Wermelskirchen to Dhünn, a district of Wermelskirchen in North Rhine-Westphalia .

The first mention took place in the year 1359. On September 9th, Count Gerhard von Berg appointed Tillmann and his heirs, who put their estate in Eipringhausen in the uppermost mill as pledge, to foresters and keepers of his forests for fallow and Hölverscheid .

In the burger stock book of 1692, the mill is named with the obligation to deliver a Malter rye to the winery. The name of the owner is missing. In 1750 the mill gives a thaler to the castle cellar.

At that time, the owners were the Diepmann and Jacobi families from Wermelskirchen-Neuenhaus and Grünenwald (today Burscheid- Hilgen , Kölner Straße 32).

The year 1759 is mentioned as the date of the felling of the bars of the house in a dendrochronological (annual rings) study.

In 1771, merchant Hager led to Mülheim a / Rh. a lawsuit against the tenant widow Klein because of the Eipringhauser mill. The witness Joh. Pet. Schumacher, 40 years old, says that Wittib told him that the Schaaf copper and battlements were not sold with them. During the inventory he would have been informed that the mill and the milling equipment were the property of Jacobis. Witness Arnold Molinäus, Bergermühle , 35 years old, says he bought the grain for himself, but allowed the widow or her son to borrow it free of charge for their bread-making.

In 1778 the opposing parties led another process. A witness says that because of the length of time he was unable to say whether his mother orally leased the Eipringhauser mill from the merchant Jacobi or whether a written contract was drawn up about it. The annual lease was 40 thalers. He had not given away anything to the Jacobi in terms of money, other means or assignats . He does not know whether his mother has worn anything away from the Jacobi within the five years.

On January 18, 1787, the millers were summoned and sworn in before the Bornefeld-Hückeswagen court in Wermelskirchen. Johann Klein (tenant) appears for the Eipringhauser Mühle.

On February 28, 1787, the newcomer to the Eipringhauser mill, Johann Klein, brought a lawsuit against Gerhard Jacobi as the previous owner. Klein imposes the 1950 thaler Kaufschillingen in the form of 1030 Kronentaler and one thaler 50 Stüber coins as a judicial deposit . But he wanted to get all of the mill's letters from Jacobi.

On February 28, 1787, Lucas Walmigrath from Wermelskirchen filed a legal claim against Gerhard Jacobi for 7,000 thalers. In return, all of Jacobi's assets, including the Eipringhauser mill, would have been pledged to him. Since he has now heard that the money had actually been deposited by the grader of the mill, he applied for the money to be paid out to him in advance of his claims against the provision of an adequate deposit. The lay judges confirm the goodness of Walmigrath for ten times the amount. So the 1951 thalers are paid out and Walmigrath confirms himself in the log.

From 1787 to 1805 a lawsuit was conducted before the Higher Appeal Court of the merchants Schumacher and Assmann against the businessman Lukas Walmingrath, concerning claims from Jacobi's bankruptcy, worth 7766 thalers. The Jacobi heirs write that they have already sold the Eipringhauser mill and the entire East Frisian warehouse.

In 1822 widow Johann Klein sold to son-in-law Peter Johann Bäumer for 3,050 thalers. In the following decades the Levi family (also spelled Levy) owned the mill until it was sold to Friedrich Berger for 14,400 marks in 1879.
