history

The first written mention comes from a lease from 1676, with which a piece of land was leased to a farmer from Richerzhagen . The residential building had a base made of quarry stone . Then there was a half-timbered building with a flour mill . The gearbox for the grinder was in the cellar. The mill was in operation until it was demolished. There was also an oven in the basement that had space for 80 black breads. The mill also had a quarry and a charcoal burner . There was also a restaurant with a small shop . Here the farmers could stop off and do their shopping while they waited for their grain to be ground.

Under the French administration between 1806 and 1813, the Steinbach office was dissolved and Hohemühle was politically assigned to the Mairie Kürten in the canton of Wipperfürth in the Elberfeld arrondissement . In 1816 the Prussians converted the Mairie to the mayor's office in Kürten in the Wipperfürth district . At that time Hohemühle belonged to the municipality of Bechen.

From the Prussian new admission in 1892, it is regularly recorded on measuring table sheets as Hohe-Mühle .

The municipality and estate district statistics of the Rhine Province lists Hohemühle in 1871 with two houses and eight residents. In the municipality lexicon for the Rhineland province from 1888, two houses with 15 inhabitants are given. In 1895 the place had two houses and seven residents. In 1905 the place had one residential building and six residents and belonged denominationally to the Catholic parish of Bechen.

In 1927 the mayor's office in Kürten was transferred to the office of Kürten. In the Weimar Republic in 1929 the offices of Kürten were merged with the municipalities of Kürten and Bechen and Olpe with the municipalities of Olpe and Wipperfeld to form the office of Kürten. The Wipperfürth district became part of the Rheinisch-Bergisch district on October 1, 1932, with its seat in Bergisch Gladbach .

In 1975 the current municipality of Kürten was established on the basis of the Cologne Act , to which, in addition to the offices of Kürten, Bechen and Olpe, a sub-area of ​​the city of Bensberg with Dürscheid and the surrounding areas was added.
