history

The Hagermühle was built as a fulling mill after a Thomas in Hagen had received a concession on April 5, 1680 to operate a mill on the electoral brook . It apparently remained in the family's possession, because in 1804, taxes were paid for the mill by an owner in Hagen . After 1774 the fulling mill was converted into an iron hammer . The Topographia Ducatus Montani map from 1715 shows the mill as a Kotten , which is labeled mühl . In the 18th century the place belonged to the Bergisches Amt Bornefeld-Hückeswagen . Around 1800 there was another renovation, as apparently the new owner Johann Bommert found it more profitable to use it as a cloth factory. In 1815/16 six people lived in the village.

When his sons died prematurely and he was no longer able to maintain the business for reasons of age, Bommert finally offered the facility for lease or purchase on May 27, 1829. The equipment of the factory listed in the offer included three fulling heads , three raising machines, a rinsing machine and six cylinders [..] furthermore sufficient rooms for stick frames and plushing , in addition to six living rooms and spacious Söller [..] several well-staffed carding irons , drying frames and others Equipment . A widow Wilhelm Steinberg from Hückeswagen bought the complex in 1832, consisting of a residential building, iron hammer with overshot waterwheel and 22 acres of 91 Ruthen property.

In that year Hagermühle belonged to the Lüdorfer Honschaft under the name Hagermühl , which was part of the Hückeswagen external citizenship within the Hückeswagen mayor . The place, which was categorized as a hamlet according to the statistics and topography of the Düsseldorf administrative district , had a residential building, a factory or mill and four agricultural buildings at that time. At that time, eight residents lived in the village, one of them Catholic and seven Protestant.

On March 2, 1837, sales negotiations began again, which finally led to the takeover by a Salomon Steinbach on August 27, 1845 . In 1849 the Hagermühle came into the possession of Friedrich Wilhelm Clarenbach , owner of the spinning mill in nearby Dörpe. On 29./30. November 1858 he sold the available meadows and farmland of the living space to Dürhagener Ackerlaute and the mill to the hammer smith Friedrich Diederichs . The next change of ownership took place on July 28, 1861: the buyer was Johann Friedrich Diederichs senior. who had the mill building burned down in a controlled manner by the Lüdorf fire brigade in 1863 and then erected a new solid structure on the site. In 1871 there was a residential building, a factory and 27 residents.

In the municipality lexicon for the Rhineland province in 1885, a house with four residents is given. At that time the place belonged to the rural community Neuhückeswagen within the Lennep district . 1895 owns the place. The place, categorized as a hamlet according to the statistics and topography of the administrative district of Düsseldorf , had a house with six inhabitants at that time, in 1905 one house and five inhabitants.

Around 1900 the plant burned down again and was rebuilt. Several changes of ownership took place until the Hagermühle was demolished in 1971 for the construction of the Dörpe pre-dam for the Wuppertal dam.
