history

The oldest reference to the Isenbruch mill comes from the ownership rights of Arnold von Hatart in 1379. He received the farm at Havert called "ter Borch", located in the country of Millen, with the Laten zu Luttelrode and at Havert "with the mill at Ysenbroich and what goes with it "

In 1512 the Isenbruch mill was mentioned again in a document. Here it says “moelen in dat Ysenbroeck”. In the Heinsberg fiefdom register , Gerhard von Schaesberg is listed as the owner . 1662 a "Mertten oligschleger him Isenbroch" is recorded. The Isenbruch mill was an oil and grain mill . The pan mill and hammer mechanism of the oil mill from the 17th century were measured and documented by the Selfkanter mill researchers Wilhelm Piepers and Peter Tholen around 1950. The stable construction of the Isenbruch oil press is proof that oil was harvested here very early on. The mill, which last only served as a grinding mill, was given up in 1944 when the border area was cleared before the approaching Allied troops.
