Talmühle (Dremmen)

The Talmuhle had its location on the boys worm , at the Talmühlenstraße, in the district Dremmen in the town of Heinsberg. The property on which the mill building stands is approx. 49 m above sea level . In front of the mill was a mill pond. Above was the Horster mill in Horst , below was the location of the Liecker mill in Dremmen.

Waters

The Junge Wurm was a body of water that ran more or less parallel to the Wurm . The junction from the Wurm was in Nirm, a district of the city of Geilenkirchen . Here the worm has a height of 54 m above sea level. The river Junge Wurm, also known as the Kleine Wurm , flowed in a north-northwest direction via Randerath , Horst , Porselen , Dremmen , Grebben , Heinsberg , Kempen and Karken across the German - Dutch border towards Vlodrop and empties at an altitude of 29 m above sea level on Dutch territory into the Rur . It was a natural body of water in which humans had a hand in many places. The Junge Wurm was connected to the Heinsberg moat , the mill canal, the Liecker brook and the mill brook . This composite body of water served for surface drainage and the benefit of the people. For centuries there were around 15 water mills on the Junge Wurm, with a slope of 26 m between Randerath and Karken. With the worm straightening in the 1960s and 1970s, the young worm disappeared from the maps . Instead, drainage channels and trenches were created. The water association Eifel-Rur (WVER) is responsible for the care and maintenance of the water body with a catchment area of 355.518 km ² .

history

The sovereign oil mill was first mentioned in 1461. She had to deliver 25 quarts of oil (about 22 liters) to the Duchy of Jülich every year . In 1806 the oil mill, which was equipped with a mill ban , was converted into a grinding mill with two water wheels and two grinding stages by the Horster millers family Lambertz . The mill worked until January 1945; then significant parts of Dremmen and Heinsberg were destroyed by Western Allied air strikes and artillery shells as part of Operation Peacock .

The mill building and a water wheel were preserved; they are under monument protection .
