history

The name is derived from the adjacent field name "Auf dem Kabhohn" (also "Karhohn" and "Karbüchel").

The first documentary mention was made in 1714, when the residents of Schöneberg , Heide , Altenburg and Reeg made a petition to the sovereign, the Cologne Elector Joseph Clemens , asking them to be released from the mill ban in Burglahr and transferred to the Kapaunsmühle. The request was justified with poor roads to Burglahr and the impossibility of crossing the Mehrbach at high tide at the fords at Diefenau and Dasbach at high tide - it was then granted. The owner of the Kapaunsmühle had to pay the elector 80 Reichstaler annually for the 60 or so meal guests.

The mill was renewed around 1800. Even before 1900, the mill also had its own lighting system. A frame saw was also operated after the First World War . In 1964 the mill was stopped. The mill house as well as a few interior fittings are still there, the mill moat has now been filled in.

In a census in 1885 there were twelve residents in the Kapaunsmühle.

Until March 16, 1974, the Kapaunsmühle belonged to the previously independent community of Schöneberg . On March 16, 1974, the local community Asbach was newly formed from it and the communities of Asbach and Limbach, which were dissolved at the same time, and part of the community of Elsaff .
