The Oedter Mühle was located on the Niers in Mühlengasse 5 in the Oedt district in the North Rhine-Westphalian municipality of Grefrath in the Viersen district . The area on which the mill building is located is approximately 35 m above sea level.

history

The Oedter Mühle is mentioned for the first time in a document from 1273 and is the property of the St. Vitus Abbey in Gladbach. Uda Castle was built near the mill and was in the hands of the Archbishop of Cologne in 1313 , initially as a fiefdom , and in 1348 unrestrictedly together with the rule . The Archbishop took over in 1454 the Oedter and Mülhausener mill in long lease. The Oedter Mühle was a grinding and oil mill under one roof and shows two water wheels on a drawing from 1623. During the Thirty Years War (1643) the castle was blown up. It is not known to what extent the mill was damaged. In 1843 the mill belongs to the Holtz brothers from Süchteln . It ran - most recently electrically - until 1960. Today the mill building from the 19th century is an apartment building .
