Homburg paper mill is a district of Nümbrecht in the Oberbergischer Kreis in southern North Rhine-Westphalia within the administrative district of Cologne .

Location and description

The place lies between the Nümbrecht districts Marienberghausen in the north and Homburg-Bröl in the south. It can be reached via the L 95 coming from Homburg-Bröl and is located on the L 339 . The place is about 2.1 km northwest of the center of Nümbrecht as the crow flies.

Economy and industry

The oldest paper mill in the district, located on the Bröhl, was probably founded by the Homburg rulers in the 16th century. On September 20, 1754, it was inherited. The leaseholders changed nine times between 1754 and 1806. In 1842 Wilhelm Geldmacher was one of the first in the Rhineland to set up a paper machine. So scooping by hand was no longer necessary. In 1938 an own wood grinding shop was set up. In 1997 the company was taken over by the Finnish paper group Ahlstrom and manufactured wallpaper paper. It stopped production on April 30, 2007.
