Strunder mill
The Strunder Mühle was a watermill in Cologne-Dellbrück on the Strunde .
history
The mill has changed its function time and again in its history. As early as 1380 it was mentioned as a fulled cloth mill . It is recorded as Pleißmühle in Strundorf in 1605. In 1613 it worked as a color wood mill . And in 1773 it was called full mill , which is another word for a fulling mill. On the night of October 23-24, 1811, the French destroyed the mill. But in 1821 she was grinding again Lohe and tobacco. This ends the information on mill operation. As you can see in the photo, the undershot water wheel was still there around 1900. The house is said not to have been inhabited for a long time. At an auction of the Strunden mill property, the architect Franz Sommer acquired the Strunden mill in 1968 and renovated it for residential purposes and for his office.
