The Plöger paper mill is a former paper mill and now a museum in Schieder in the Lippe district ( North Rhine-Westphalia ). The building is registered under number 48 in Part A of the Schieder-Schwalenberg list of monuments.
history
As early as 1697, master papermaker Johann Bernd Plöger received permission from Count Kasimir zur Lippe-Brake to set up a paper mill on the Niese near Schieder, which was destroyed a short time later by a flood. Count Rudolph zur Lippe-Brake, who was responsible for the construction of Schieder Castle , commissioned the construction of a high-performance paper mill in Schieder in 1703. The completed building, including the property and pasture land, was leased to the paper miller Franz Christian Plöger, the brother of Johann Bernd Plöger, for an attached farm.
The mill was managed by the Plöger family for generations and also survived the changing ownership structure from Lippe-Brake to Lippe-Detmold to Lippe-Schaumburg and back to Lippe-Detmold.
From 1870 the mill was modernized and expanded. Rudolf Philipp August Plöger bought a pan mill and a cylinder mold machine to start producing file covers. At the same time, the lease ended from here and the paper mill became the property of the Plöger family.
In the 1950s a pension was built next to the mill to compensate for the declining income from paper production. However, that did not change the fact that production was no longer profitable at the end of the 1960s and was essentially pursued as a hobby until the late 1980s.
In 1992, the Heimatverein Schieder, the local association of the Lippisches Heimatbund , took over the paper mill and its historical furnishings as a tenant. After years of extensive restoration work, the paper mill was given its new purpose as a museum in May 2001. The paper mill Plöger shows the paper production around 1900.
Buildings and equipment
The mill is a two-story half-timbered building with a high roof with ventilation dormers. The system also includes two overshot water wheels with a covered water wheel chamber, the weir systems on the Niese with the associated moat and a dry house in the garden.
The almost completely preserved mechanical equipment with cylinder sieve machine, transmission, sump tub with agitator, pan mill (Steinholländer), various screw presses, smoothing machine and paper scissors dates from the period from around 1870 to 1890.
