geography

Paper mill is located west of the core town of Attendorn on Ihnestrasse (L 539) between Listerscheid in the west and Petersburg in the east. The Wesebach flowing through the town from the north flows into the Ihne there .

history

Politically, paper mill formerly belonged in the Waldenburg office and in the Gogericht and parish Attendorn to the Albringhausen peasantry , which also included surrounding towns such as Listerscheid, Wamge , Weschede and others.

The name paper mill came into being in 1603 when a Jost Richter applied to Drost Caspar von Fürstenberg to build a paper mill between Weschede and Merklinghausen . He agreed to an annual fee of 5 reams of paper. The elector also gave his consent. Until 1663 the paper maker "Joachim auf der Papyrmüllen" was mentioned. After his death, a man from Menden took over a Johann Brackel at Easter 1691. Around 1790 "Schütz auf der Papiermühle" had to pay a pension from the Lands belonging to the Weschede Tenth . This Christoph Schüz was in 1791 with the iron ore mine at the old fallow on Spitzberg at Lichtringhausen and with the lead pit at Steinknap and birch Hardt invested . From 1803 to 1816, the paper maker Henninger paid the taxes to the rent office in Bilstein .

The hand-scooped writing paper produced in a paper mill is said to have had a leaping deer as a watermark.

The address book from 1835 names "Franz Mader, paper factory, to paper mill near Attendorn".

When, around 1850, wood pulp came up again through mechanical grinding of wood, and sulfite cellulose was invented and used in paper production, the fate of paper production from straw and textile waste, known in the Sauerland, was sealed. The paper mill burned down in the middle of the 19th century and was probably not rebuilt for the reasons mentioned above. Theodor Schemm bought the hydropower plant and had an adhesive screw factory built on it in 1886. A steam boiler was added in 1889 and six drop hammers were added in 1901 . Over time, the Theodor Schemm metal goods factory was converted into a modern factory with more than 140 employees. The company no longer exists.

In the company address book from 1885 a "Dietrich Bröseker, mill owner, specialty goods store and bakery" is mentioned in paper mill. At the end of the 1920s there was an evangelical private school in Papiermühle with the teacher Maul.

In 1936 there were 16 houses with 22 households and 96 inhabitants in Papiermühle. At the end of 1988 the place had 115 inhabitants.

Today, on the right side of Ihnestrasse, in the direction of Meinerzhagen , is the company KAPO CNC-Zerspannstechnik and on the left side the company Eurotec Spannringe GmbH as well as the Café Gräfe since 1958 on Ihnestrasse.

From 1819 paper mill in the Attendorn office belonged to the Attendorn-Land community until it was incorporated into the city of Attendorn in 1969.
