Waters
The Gladbach, (GEWKZ 28614), which is also the namesake of the city of Mönchengladbach, has been an important lifeline for centuries. It supplied the residents and a total of eight mills with water and was the origin of the flourishing textile industry in Mönchengladbach. The approximately 6.3 km long Gladbach rises in Waldhausen , crossed the districts of Pesch and Lürrip and flowed into the Niers at Uedding . Today it is mostly piped and flows from Volksbadstraße at 1,904 m as an open channel along the Mönchengladbach – Düsseldorf railway line to the Niers. The catchment area of the body of water is 26.208 km 2 . The care and maintenance of the water is incumbent on NEW AG .
history
The pipe mill was first mentioned in a document in 1371, when Johann van Jlem and his sons waived their claims to the court and the mill ten Raide towards the abbot of Gladbach and his convent . The historiography lists several names of the mill. It was also called Grevenmühle , Knipscher Mühle , Radermühle and Raher Mühle .
In the course of secularization , the mill was auctioned in 1803 and sold to Johann Lambertz from Gladbach for 19,100 francs . In 1846 the mill was converted into a hydro-powered spinning mill and in 1856 a steam boiler was installed. In 1903 the water wheel was removed and in 1944 the building used as a grain store was destroyed in a bomb attack.
