According to the original cadastre from 1830, a total of six mills can be found along the Hirschbach and Idarbach in the Laufersweiler district. The paper mill appeared on the emigration lists at the beginning of the 18th century when a daughter of the paper miller Kuhn moved away. Around 1600 paper mills were part of everyday life. The raw materials for paper production were mechanically shredded and stirred using water power.

How long the mill in Laufersweiler was used to produce paper cannot be traced. The paper mill remained in operation as a cooperative mill for grinding grain until the 1960s. The mill had 78 shareholders. It has stood still since 1961. The company's water rights, which were registered in February 1926, were canceled in 1966 and the mill had had its day.

The mill also served as a hiding place for robbers and dodgy rabble. For example, in an old protocol about the attack by Johannes Buckle (Schinderhannes) on the Jewish cattle and goods dealer Isaak Moses on November 21, 1803, it is reported that musicians, mole catchers and tramps were staying there.

The current owners use the mill as their home. The lovingly restored mill is harmoniously integrated into a green paradise. Works of art are tastefully placed everywhere in the green oasis on the Idarbach.

The paper mill near Laufersweiler part-1

According to the original cadastre from 1830, a total of six mills can be identified along the Hirsch and Idarbach in the Laufersweiler district. The paper mill appeared in the emigration lists at the beginning of the 18th century when a daughter of the paper miller Kuhn moved away. The first paper mill was founded in Nuremberg in 1390. Around 1600 paper mills were part of everyday life. 160 paper mills worked in Germany. The raw materials for paper production were mechanically shredded and stirred using water power. Until a few years ago, paper that was produced in the Laufersweiler mill is said to have been available. How long the mill in Laufersweiler was used to produce paper cannot be traced. The paper mill remained in operation as a cooperative mill for grinding grain until the 1960s, as evidenced by numerous entries about maintenance and repair work in the accounting book of the Vankorb company from Laufersweiler. The last entry is from 1960. The mill had 78 shareholders. It had stood still since 1961. The company's water rights, registered in February 1926, were canceled in 1966. The mill was obsolete.
