Around 1560 the mill came into the possession of the von Papeler family, who also owned the Papelerhof. In 1595 Regina von Papeler and Wilhelm Coppartz married. Over time, the Papelerhof became the Kappelshof and the mill became the Kappelsmühle. Mill operations were stopped around 1870. The federal motorway 46 now runs over the former location of the mill . From the Kappelshof a riding stable with a breeding and training stable developed, the Gut Kappelshof .
