The Gladbacher Mühle was in Gladbach in the Düren district on Neffelbach .

The mill was right in the village. Above is the Müddersheimer Mühle and below was the Gladbacher Ölmühle. It is first mentioned in 1812 as a flour mill on the Neffelbach. In 1812, Michael Dohmen from Gladbach bought the mill from Count Condehoven.

The grinding mill had two grinding cycles in the alternating mechanism, which means that both grinding cycles could not be used at the same time. In 1957, Wilhelm Schmitz was named as the owner.

In the 1950s, an electric drive and a diesel engine with 15 hp were also installed. In 1959 the company was closed.
