history
The first documented mention of a mill in Alertshausen refers to a document from the Berleburg archive from May 1, 1415. A certain Eckel Molnn (the miller) von Alertshausen (Aldirshusin) praised and swore to the Count of Berleburg not to leave the land that was left to him To pay taxes. It cannot be said exactly whether it was the Obere Mühle. A precise succession of the owners or the operators of the mill is not known until around 1680. Ludwig Michel is the new miller in Alertshausen. We find a general entry on October 20, 1641 in an excerpt from the register of Pastor Georgius Mengell in the church loan estates in Altershausen. Here the Mühlgraben is described. The mill was repeatedly rebuilt and modernized. Milling was carried out here until the 1960s.
