history

The Klippertzmühle was first mentioned in a document in 1247. The mill was a grain mill and was operated under-cut. Its first owner was Gerhard Klypart, who also gave the mill its name. It was intended as a ban mill for the Myllendonk rule . In 1763 the nearby Myllendonk Castle Mill, which had previously been an oil and wage mill, was also expanded into a grain mill. The compulsory meal , which continued until the French era , was divided between the two mills. In 1774 the mill burned down and was rebuilt with three grinding courses . So grain , tan and oil could be ground and pressed in the mill. In 1804 the mill was modernized and from 1866 a steam engine was used. After the Niers had been straightened in 1929, the mill was driven by an electric motor . In 1951 the old mill building burned down. A new six-story building was built at the same location. A walled-in memorial stone still reminds of what happened. Mill operations were stopped in the mid-1960s.
