List of mills on Rodebach
The list of mills on the Rodebach includes the mills that were or are still standing on the Rodebach .
The Rodebach begins at a retention basin near Siepenbusch in the town of Übach-Palenberg in North Rhine-Westphalia at an altitude of 105 m above sea level. The Rodebach has a length of 28.9 km to its confluence with the Geleenbeek near Oud-Roosteren in the Netherlands.
Falling groundwater levels, lower rainfalls and straightening the stream in the 1960s brought the end of mill operations for all mills.
