At Pannesheide , the Amstelbach briefly becomes the border river between Germany and the Netherlands , and then as Anselderbeek it crosses the Anstelvallei (Amsteltal), Kerkrade's green heart.

history

Because of its location on a tapering plot of land right on the border, it was also called the Tüter Mühle or Teuten Mühle . The mill, which is only reminiscent of a lone grinding stone , worked until 1963/64. The farm was converted into a horse pension.
