The Lambertz mill was a watermill on the Junge Wurm in the city of Heinsberg in the North Rhine-Westphalian district of Heinsberg in the administrative district of Cologne .

geography

The Lambertz mill had its location on the boys worm , on the field road in the district Randerath in town Heinsberg. The property on which the mill building stood is approx. 54 m above sea ​​level . The mill was only about 1000 m away from the junction with the Alte Wurm . A mill pond was in front of it . The Brünkers mill was located below .

Waters

The Junge Wurm was a body of water that ran more or less parallel to the Wurm . The junction from the Wurm was in Nirm, a district of the city of Geilenkirchen . Here the worm has a height of 54 m above sea level. The river Junge Wurm, also known as the Kleine Wurm , flowed in a north-northwest direction via Randerath , Horst , Porselen , Dremmen , Grebben , Heinsberg , Kempen and Karken across the German - Dutch border towards Vlodrop and empties at an altitude of 29 m above sea level on Dutch territory into the Rur . It was a natural body of water in which humans had a hand in many places. The Junge Wurm was connected to the Heinsberg moat , the mill canal, the Liecker brook and the mill brook . This composite body of water served for surface drainage and the benefit of the people. For centuries there were around 15 water mills on the Junge Wurm, with a slope of 26 m between Randerath and Karken. With the worm straightening in the 1960s and 1970s, the young worm disappeared from the maps . Instead, drainage channels and trenches were created. The water association Eifel-Rur (WVER) is responsible for the care and maintenance of the water body with a catchment area of 355.518 km ² .

history

The Lambertz mill, which stood in front of the city ​​wall in front of the field gate, was also called the full mill . It was first mentioned in the Reformation in 1534/35 . At that time, the mill was also used as a place of prayer, where the preachers spread the gospel . In 1624, religious services for Reformed believers were held in the mill . In 1838 the fulling mill was converted into a bone mill , which later became an oil brawler . From 1882 the mill served as a grinding mill , which was equipped with a 25 HP water turbine instead of the water wheel . The mill operation was stopped in 1960. In the 1990s the mill was shut down and a new house was built.
