The Lohmühle (Trips) was a water mill with an undershot water wheel on the Wurm in the city of Geilenkirchen in the North Rhine-Westphalian district of Heinsberg in the administrative district of Cologne .

geography

The Lohmühle (Trips) had its location on the worm, the Tripser Mühlenpfad, in the town of Geilenkirchen. The property on which the mill building stood was approx. 70 m above sea ​​level . The neighboring mill was the Trips grinding and oil mill , below the Horriger mill was located .

Waters

The worm supplied numerous mills with water over a river length of 53 km. The source of the worm is south of Aachen at 265 m above sea level. The confluence with the Rur is in the town of Kempen in the town of Heinsberg at 32 m above sea level. In the late 1960s and early 1970s, worm straightening was carried out. The curving, now and then meandering course of the river disappeared in favor of a simple route . The river length shortened and the flow speed increased. For many people the flood protection improved , for the mills it was the end. 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

From 1776 Schloss Trips also had the Lohmühle (Trips) with its own water wheel . The gentleman on trips and a Geilenkirchen leather manufacturer built it together. The product of this mill was Gerberlohe for leather processing. The mill fell into disrepair and went under before the turn of the century .
