history

The historical border between the Principality of Lippe and the Prussian Paderborn , as well as the geographical dividing line between the Teutoburg Forest and the Egge Mountains, was roughly based on the course of the stream .

After the Thirty Years War , the border disputes were resolved in 1658 with the Lippspringischen original comparison . There it says, among other things, as far as the Möllenwasser, so designed that the Böckenberg as far as the Kattenbeke with Holtz and Heide gantz and at least Lippisch, but all of the Veldt Romans remain their companions ...

Mills

Mills used water power: the first concession was awarded in 1612 by the Lippe rulers. The blacksmith annually delivered an ax to the princely rent chamber . Up to seven mills and forges still existed at the beginning of the 19th century . In the upper reaches there were three grinding mills , up to four grinding mills and two fulling mills . Today the remains of the silver, the Boll and a grinding mill still stand. The Silbermühle is the former “packing house” in which the silver ore was once washed out. It was converted into a grinding mill in 1711, which was soon called the silver mill. In 1895 the miller received the license to set up an inn. The mill continued to operate until 1927.
