      According to the old chronicle of Diepeschrather Mühle, the founding of the mill dates back to 1653, when grain and mustard seeds were ground, Bergisches country bread was made and home-made schnapps was served to guests.
      In 1911 the mill was completely cremated by a large fire.

        As in probably every other profession, there were a few so-called “black sheep” among the many honorable millers in the milling trade. The popular children’s book author Otfried Preußler tells the following short episode in “The Flight into Egypt”:
        “And they didn’t even get all the way to Klostergrätz that evening, but there was a mill on their way, the monastery mill – they stayed there until the next morning. At first the monastery miller was almost shocked when the k.k. Gendarmerie knocks on his door: There had been a certain dispute with a customer last week about a few sacks of milling material, which had disappeared in a completely inexplicable way in the mill here […] but it could have been that he had been reported for it anyway – and now they’re coming to pick him up… then of course all the disputed milling sacks had immediately fallen from his mind, the monastery miller, just as [sergeant] Hawlitschek was now simply asking him for a place to stay for the night.”
