history

The Kovermühle was owned by Schaesberg and was first mentioned in a document in 1349. It and the Nettmühle below are likely to have given the name to the old farmers' community "Müllem" and the Müllemer Hof, which was mentioned in the 14th century. The mill was operated exclusively as a grain mill with an undershot water wheel. Mill operations were stopped at the end of 1945. The water accumulation and the water wheel were dismantled. After an agricultural use, the restored miller's house is now used as a residential building.
