history

The mill was also called Neuenhauser Mühle and was a grain mill. It was owned by the Probsteigut Neuenhaus to the north .

The place is recorded on the topographical survey of the Rhineland from 1817 in the form of a mill symbol. The Prussian first recording from 1845 shows the living space as a mill symbol with the lettering Neuenhauser . From the Prussian new admission from 1892 to the 1913 edition, the place is regularly recorded on the measurement table as Lombachs M.

In 1830 16 people lived in the village, which after the collapse of the Napoleonic administration and its replacement belonged to the Overath mayor in the Mülheim am Rhein district . According to the survey of the government district of Cologne , the place categorized as an isolated mill in 1845 and called Lohmbachs-Mühle had a residential building with 6 inhabitants at that time, all of them Catholic faith. The municipal and Gutbezirksstatistik the Rhine Province leads Lohmbachmühle 1871 with a dwelling house and five residents. In the municipality lexicon for the Rhineland province from 1888, Lohmbach's Mühle is listed as a residential building without residents. In 1895 the place has a house with seven inhabitants and belongs denominationally to the Catholic parish of Marialinden, in 1905 a house and one inhabitant are given for Lombachsmühle.

The last resident in the finally unused, lonely and dilapidated mill was the Dahler Jirret (Dahler, Gerhard). Once a wealthy farmer, he had lost his fortune through all sorts of legal proceedings and had to laboriously earn his living as a servant broker for the agricultural sector in his last years. Some of the young people he brought from poor areas like the Eifel , the Sauerland and the Eichsfeld married in Overath and made their home here.

The mill was demolished in 1927 and the living space fell into desolation . Heinrich Jansen from Tixhoven used the building material from the mill for a house on the Oderscheiderberg .
