The St. Pantaleon Abbey in Cologne is mentioned as the owner of the Borner Mühle as early as the 12th century. An important documentary mention can be found in the “Borner Weistum” of September 17, 1412. Here it says that all Laaten (leaning supporters) of the Cologne Abbey “St. Pantaleon ”, who were based in Born and Bracht, had to have their grain milled in the Borner Mühle. This compulsory meal of the abbey was handled with particular severity so that the miller was able to pay the high taxes to the abbey.

My ancestors worked as millers at this mill on the Schwalm River more than 200 years ago. They were tenants. The mill was used as an exclusive hotel and restaurant for many years. It is now in need of renovation.
