history

The name of the town Vlotho is derived from the medieval name Vlothowe des Forellenbaches. In modern times it was also called Mühlenbach variously because it was used by many water mills (grain, oilseeds, etc.) on its way from today's Valdorf district to the estuary. One of the oldest known was at the beginning of this intensely used route and, with its facility documented in 1641, was also the oldest known paper mill in Westphalia-Lippe. Hydropower was used at this location much earlier, in the Ravensberger Urbar from 1556 there is a report of a dilapidated iron hammer.
