history
The Roermolen is the only one of the fourteen mills on Rodebach that is on Dutch territory today. It was also called the "Jabecker Mühle" because of its close location to Jabeek. In the log of the Lemitengang 1492 "Roers" is given as a topographical point west of the Etzenrath mill. In 1690 there is an entry in the Gangelter church book, according to which Lambert Lamberts had a son in the "Ritzrohr mühl".
Today's listed building shows the year 1794 on the painted gable next to a mill cart. In the courtyard there are still several millstones from a grinding mill and an oil mill from the pan mill . The mill device is no longer available. The grinding operation was discontinued with the Second World War .
