The Oberbolheimer Mühle was in Alt-Oberbolheim in the district of Düren am Neffelbach .
The mill was first mentioned in 1196, as the provost, the dean and the convent of St. Adalbert in Aachen the Abbey Steinfeld leased the mill in Oberbolheim. 20 Malter Frucht and Kölner Soliden Geld were to be paid as a long lease .
The Oberbolheimer mill was the last mill in the Düren district. A few hundred meters later, the Rhein-Erft-Kreis begins with the urban area of Kerpen .
The mill was a grinding mill with an overshot water wheel and two grinding cycles in the alternating mechanism. It was possible to grind 4 bushels in one hour . Between 1820 and 1830, the owner Alexander von Govaerz from Oberbolheim installed a third grinding process. On October 20, 1827, he received the concession for an oil mill from the Aachen government . The mill operation was stopped in 1952. In 1969/70 the building was demolished because of the construction of the Nörvenich air base.
The homeland and history association of the municipality of Nörvenich e. V. unveiled a stele on May 31, 2019, on which the former village and the mill are described in words and pictures.
