The Mebusmühle is a residential area at a former water mill on the Eschbach on the border between Remscheid and Wermelskirchen . It is located directly north of the Remscheid service area on federal motorway 1 .

history

The Mebusmühle first appears under this name in the Wermelskirchen church accounts in 1528. At that time, a Mr. (?) Up of Mylen Mevus was registered as the owner . Mevus is to be equated with Bartholomäus , after that the Mevusmühle could also be called Bartholomäusmühle. One can assume that the mebus mill or another mill there is even older. In 1621 the mebus mill was first a grain mill, then a fulling mill, in the parlance at the time it was called meves garbage. In 1613 there was a trial of inheritance matters before the Reich Chamber of Commerce in Wetzlar.

Ownership and Events

  • Before 1709, the Mebusmühle seems to have passed into the possession of Johann Scheurmann / Schürer. From 1709 a leasehold letter has been received through which Johann Scheurmann, whose housewife and heir was allowed to use a meadow near the Mebusmühle belonging to the Burg winery to create another mill pond for a fixed annual lease. In 1711 Johan Schürer and his housewife Engelen in the Mebusmühle were named in a contract as the buyer of the Gerstauer Mühle near Remscheid, which had previously belonged to the heirs of Peiffer / Pieper. 1738 Division of the goods to the Mebusmühle between Johann Christian Schürer and Johannes Schingen from Töckelhausen and his wife Maria Gertrudis Schürer.
  • In 1747, according to the inventory book of the Wermelskirchen Oberhonschaft, the following hereditary assets existed at the Mebusmühle: 1. Johann Schingen hereditary property, now Johan Arnold Schingen; 2. Peter Johann Landkämper, now Hermannus Gierhardt; 3. Johan Christ Schürer's inheritance, Johannes Schingen (presumably as the guardian of his daughter), now Arnold Schingen, passed to Johann Peter Dorpmüller in 1778.
  • The marriage between Johann Arnold Schintgen and Maria Elisabeth Schürer, which took place in 1770, later enabled the two halves of the mill, Schintgen and Schürer, to be merged; her daughter Maria Theresa owned the entire grinding mill in 1816.

  • In 1797, the then owner Schintgen, Schöffe zu Wermelskirchen, was kidnapped as a hostage for outstanding forage deliveries to the camp of the French army under Marshal Ney in Bergisch Born. Allegedly around 1800 the existing and preserved building was built in its current condition.
  • In 1812 Scheffe Arnold Schingen explained that he would continue to accept a rope of hay as a lease for the Cameral meadow, known as the “green sheet”. His ancestor Joh. Schürmann received the meadow from the domain for the creation of the mill ponds.
  • In 1816, while her father Johann Arnold Schintgen was still alive, Maria Theresia Eickens, nee. Schintgen her real estate Mebusmühle (= houses 32, 33, 34, two barns, the grinding mill and various lands), in 1823 she commissioned her notary to sell these goods. This sale was probably made to Peter Platte. In 1826 the outline hand sketch of the original cadastre near Mebusmühle shows four buildings.
  • In 1830, the entire property is listed in the inventory of the original cadastre of the Oberhonschaft Wermelskirchen. It holds 125 acres of land and belongs to Peter Platte, Große Ledder, Dabringhausen. He shares the property and sells approx. 13.5 acres with the so-called fulling mill to Johann Peter Picard. His house is on Hall III, No. 326. Peter Platte sells about 111.5 acres to Josua Rübenstrunck, Bergermühle, for 5250 thalers. His house is on hallway I, No. 352.
  • Around 1880 the Mebusmühle was operated by the Rübenstrunk family as a mill and farm. In 1891 the property became the property of the city of Remscheid. From this time on, a farmer and landlord Buchholz has been running the Mebusmühle. In 1897 a fulling mill and a grinding bowl were demolished, which were roughly where the swan pond is today.
  • In 1899, the economic manager Jäger from Wermelskirchen, who was also the leaseholder of the dam restaurant, took over the Mebusmühle. In the years that followed, Jäger employed a few sub-tenants for the mebus mill, the families K. Hogut, Emil Fischbach and Josef Ahlemann.
  • Work on the Neyetalsperre began around 1900. For this reason, the Josef Causemann family was relocated to Remscheid in 1909 and took over the farm belonging to the Mebusmühle. The restaurant was run by the Ahlemann family until around 1920, who emigrated to America after the business was closed.
  • In 1920 the Mebusmühle was rebuilt and in 1921 the Causemann family also took over the restaurant. After the death of the Causemann siblings, the Causemann siblings took over the restaurant business and ran it with great effort, work and success until 1964. During this time, a brother of the Causemann siblings ran the farm with his wife. In World War II, the estate has remained except for minor damage spared. When the renovation was carried out, shrapnel were found in the beams and table tops.

  • When the motorway was built, Mr. Causemann's agricultural lands were given up. A spacious road gave the valley at the Mebusmühle a new face.
  • In 1964 the Mebusmühle was sold by the city of Remscheid. The agricultural buildings, all additions such as the former horse stables, milk kitchen, laundry room, utility kitchen and the toilets in the style customary at the time were demolished. The old building of the Mebus mill, as it was built around 1800 with a wall thickness of one meter, remained in the ground plan. If one speaks today of a traditional restaurant of the Remscheid industry “In the Mebusmühle”, then, due to the chronicle handed down, there should be the place that can testify to the skill and diligence of the Remscheid industry.
  • The Mebusmühle has belonged to Mario Romanowski, who runs the Romanowski restaurant there, since 2009.
