description
The Schriefersmühle, built from field fire bricks , is a tower Dutchman (inner crusher) and one of the oldest secular monuments in the Mönchengladbach urban area. It is located at the address Schriefersmühle 25 on the federal road 57 between the Mönchengladbach district of Rheindahlen and the Wegberg district of Rath-Anhoven .
history
The mill was built in 1747 and is recorded in 1806/07 as New Mill on the Tranchot map . For several centuries, the farmers from the surrounding area brought their grain to the Schriefersmühle for grinding, before the mill was shut down around the First World War . The mill then served as a storage room. She was last seen with wings in pictures from 1926, at the latest in the 1930s a petrol station was built right next to the mill, which has been changed to this day. The Schriefersmühle was badly damaged in the Second World War ; in the final phase of the war, when the Allies marched in 1945, it burned down completely. Remnants of the interior furnishings made of oak were later processed into nativity figures for the Church of St. Helena in Rheindahlen. In 1978 the mill was given an emergency roof and on October 14, 1986 it was placed under monument protection. Until the 2000s, the condition of the structure deteriorated, so that it was considered to be in danger of collapsing at the beginning of the 2010s.
Refurbishment and current use
A development association founded in August 2011 has set itself the goal of repairing the mill and protecting it from deterioration. The association received the Schriefersmühle from 2011 for an initial 25 years. In March 2013, the association announced that it had already invested 40,000 euros in donations in the repair. This ensured that the building was secured. This work was carried out in coordination with the Lower Monument Protection Authority , so that the originality of the mill is preserved. In addition to special joint material, authentic field fire bricks were also used. Several ring anchors around the tower ensure the stability of the mill, which was previously in danger of collapsing. Furthermore, in March 2013 a mill hill of around 3 m surrounding the tower was removed to expose the rest of the historic masonry. In addition, two extensions that were not part of the historical building fabric were demolished. As the next construction phase, a gate is to be installed at the mill passage and an interior renovation is to be carried out.
On May 8, 2015, the largely renovated mill was presented to the public for the first time. During the renovation, the building received u. a. a power connection and new electrical installations inside. With the presentation, the search for a usage concept for the renovated monument also began. The members of the development association decided to use it as a cultural meeting place. By September 2016, the association had already invested over 150,000 euros in the restoration of the mill. In November 2016, the NRW Foundation decided to support the association with 120,000 euros. The funds are to be used to restore the original appearance of the Schriefersmühle with a new mill cap. In addition, the mill is to receive a new heating system, new doors and windows. A false ceiling with glass inserts should enable the first floor to be used for a permanent exhibition, while the ground floor is intended for events. Another goal of the association was the reconstruction of the mill cross. The new mill cap and mill cross were installed on November 5, 2019. From 2011 to 2019, around 400,000 euros were invested in the restoration of the mill.
On Whit Monday 2015, the Schriefersmühle was open to the public on German Milling Day . Visitors were able to find out more about the renovation at a lecture by the development association. In 2016 and 2017, the mill opened for the German Milling Day on Whit Monday. There is also a regular opportunity to visit on the day of the open monument .
Since the completion of the renovation in 2015, cultural events have been held regularly in the mill. In 2016, the first art exhibition was opened in the renovated building after Mühlentag. On the weekend of Pentecost 2017, pictures by the artist Anneliese Casteel were exhibited and readings with musical accompaniment took place.
