Waters

The Gladbach, (GEWKZ 28614), which is also the namesake of the city of Mönchengladbach, has been an important lifeline for centuries. It supplied the residents and a total of eight mills with water and was the origin of the flourishing textile industry in Mönchengladbach. The approximately 6.3 km long Gladbach rises in Waldhausen , crossed the districts of Pesch and Lürrip and flowed into the Niers at Uedding . Today it is mostly piped and flows from Volksbadstrasse at 1,904 m as an open channel along the Mönchengladbach – Düsseldorf railway line to the Niers. The catchment area of ​​the body of water is 26.208 km 2 . The care and maintenance of the water is incumbent on NEW AG .

history

The Flieschermühle was first mentioned in documents in 1210, when Abbot Herrmann I (1190–1210) acquired the mill together with the Supreme Mill and the Krallsmühle from his own funds and bequeathed it to the monks' convent . Probably after the names of the tenants , the mill was also called Clippartzmühle and Kipshover Mühle . In front of the undershot mill was the cock pond, which supplied the mill with water. The Flieschermühle was a fruit and woad mill.

In 1779 the abbot Lambert Raves (1772–1799) had the mill, which was badly damaged by the war, demolished and rebuilt. In the course of secularization , the mill was publicly auctioned in 1803 and sold to Anton Krall from Odenkirchen . At this point the mill had two grinding stages . From a later time it is known that the Flieschermühle had two mill wheels . After the mill was sold in 1876, a file cutting and grinding shop were operated. In 1899 the mill was sold to the city and closed down a little later. Today the street name An der Flieschermühle is a reminder of the past.
