Düppelsmühle Titz

Since 1418 the city of Cologne had the undivided right of ownership to the water of the Duffesbach. They forbade any drainage for irrigation of the fields and other uses. It also failed to build a new water mill by the lord of Efferen, Dham (Adam) von Diepenbroeck. He tried to avoid the constant quarrels between the city of Cologne and the lords of Efferen Castle over the use of the Duffesbach by applying to the sovereign, the Duke of Jülich, Wilhelm IV., For a permit to build a windmill in Efferen this approved in 1559. The post mill was located on Luxemburger Strasse, then known as Zülpicher Strasse, opposite the confluence of Höninger Weg and therefore not in the floodplain of the Duffesbach and also in the open.

The Düppelsmühle is a now disused post mill from the 16th century

One of the few remaining post mills in the region. Exemplarily restored after severe storm damage. Unfortunately not to be visited.
