Map of the Great Dhünntalsperre with the location of Siebelsmühle

Siebelsmühle was a district of Kürten that sank into the Great Dhünntalsperre, which was built between 1975 and 1985 and opened in 1988 .

Location and description

The Siebelsmühle was northeast of Dhünnberg on the great Dhünnbach . It was known for its beautiful location and was often depicted on postcards. The mill had three grindings , a bone mill as well as "Brodknete" (= bread kneading machine ) and "Dreich- und Häckselmaschine" (= threshing and chopping machine ), all of which were powered by water. She also had her own fishery . It was auctioned off to the highest bidder on September 3, 1881 in Dörnchen in the apartment of "Landlord Mr. Joseph Wüsten" .

Due to the construction of the older dam , the village was no longer inhabited since the end of the 1950s.

history

The Topographia Ducatus Montani by Erich Philipp Ploennies from 1715, Blatt Amt Steinbach , shows that the place already existed as a mill in 1715 and was called Siebelsmühl . From the chart of the Duchy of Berg in 1789 by Carl Friedrich von Wiebeking it emerges that Siebelsmühle was part of the Oberhonschaft in the parish of Kürten in the district court of Kürten at that time .

Under the French administration between 1806 and 1813, the Steinbach office was dissolved and Siebelsmühle was politically assigned to the Mairie Kürten in the canton of Wipperfürth in the Elberfeld arrondissement . In 1816 the Prussians converted the Mairie to the mayor's office in Kürten in the Wipperfürth district . Siebelsmühle belonged to the municipality of Bechen at that time.

The place is recorded on the topographical survey of the Rhineland from 1824 as Siebelsmühl and on the Prussian first survey from 1840 as Siebelsmühle . From the Prussian new admission in 1892, it is regularly recorded on measuring table sheets as Siebelsmühle .

The place, which was categorized as a house and mill according to the overview of the government district of Cologne in 1845 , had a residential building at that time. At that time 19 residents lived in the place, twelve of them Catholic and seven Protestant denominations. The municipality and estate district statistics of the Rhine province lists Siebelsmühle in 1871 with one house and twelve residents. In the municipality lexicon for the Rhineland province from 1888, a house with three residents is given. In 1895 the place had a house and eight residents. In 1905 the place had a house and ten residents and belonged denominationally to the Catholic parish of Kürten and the Protestant parish of Delling.

In 1927 the mayor's office in Kürten was transferred to the office of Kürten. In the Weimar Republic in 1929 the offices of Kürten were merged with the municipalities of Kürten and Bechen and Olpe with the municipalities of Olpe and Wipperfeld to form the office of Kürten. The Wipperfürth district became part of the Rheinisch-Bergisch district on October 1, 1932, with its seat in Bergisch Gladbach .

In 1975 the current municipality of Kürten was established on the basis of the Cologne Act , to which, in addition to the offices of Kürten, Bechen and Olpe, a sub-area of ​​the city of Bensberg with Dürscheid and the surrounding areas was added.
