The full mill was a fulling mill on the Strunde . At the same time it is a district in the city ​​center of Bergisch Gladbach .

history

For the fulling mills there was also the name full mill in many places . This term comes from the Latin word fullo , the walker. Therefore the spelling Follmühle would be more appropriate. The spelling with V , however, associates that something complete has been produced. In the full cloth mills or full mills, wool was felted in a warm and damp state by pushing, squeezing and tamping into a cohesive body in such a way that a smooth surface was created. In this way, the threads of the fabric were completely hidden, making the fabric slightly water repellent. Today we still know such a material as loden . Furthermore, other fabrics such as linen were lightly drummed to make them more supple.

The sources on the Vollmühle are not particularly rich. In 1758/59 the full mill in Strundorf is owned by Dietrich Kierdorff. In the log for the Strunderbach, Gerhard Paffrath appears as the owner of the cloth fulling mill in Strundorf in 1773 . The mill was then converted into an oil mill, the date of which is unknown. During the so-called French era , as in other mills, tobacco was sometimes ground here (Priesmühle). After 1826 Georg Wilhelm Siller operated it with an undershot wheel as an oil and barley peeling mill . Part of the mill building burned down before the end of the 19th century, although it must have been standing until 1912. Later recordings no longer show a building at this point.
