from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Schlodderdicher mill around 1900

The Schlodderdicher Mühle was first a grinding mill , then a fulling mill and finally a plaster mill in Schlodderdich in the Gronau district of Bergisch Gladbach an der Strunde .

history

Heinrich Kessel from Bensberg was mentioned as the owner in the Bach Court record of 1584, but nothing was written anywhere about the function of the mill . For the first time in 1745 one learns about the Schlodderdicher Mühle with the name schleiffmühl zum schluderdich that it was one of the old grinding mills on the Strunde. But it had stood still for many years and was no longer in use. Before 1773, the old grinding mill had been converted into a fulling mill (Follmühle), which had an undershot water wheel and a gradient of about six feet . When the French assigned house numbers in 1809 , the mill belonged to the one in Schlodderdichborn Wilhelm Linden. In 1823 he stated that he owned an oil , pearl and grinding mill, although he certainly did not work real pearls, but instead polished pearls made of glass or semi-precious stones in a drum driven by the mill. In 1873 only oil was whipped in the mill.

In 1914 the businessman Rudolf Paffrath acquired the Schlodderdicher Mühle. He set up a production facility for grinding and processing plaster of paris under the name of Alabaster Gypsum Works by Rudolf Paffrath, Gladbach municipality . After the Second World War , the mill was expanded structurally and now produced high-quality medical plaster, dental plaster and material for the metal and plastics industry as molding plaster. Since the water power of the Strunde no longer met the increasing requirements, the operation was electrified. After the ailing mill wheel was removed in 1975, only the rusted hub axle and the discoloration on the wall are reminiscent of a former rotating mill here. In 2001 the roofing company Paul Wegener bought the building. Mill operations no longer take place.
