It belonged to the Beeck domain in the Duchy of Jülich. In 1715 the Buschmühle was a fiefdom of the Wickrath rule and the imperial barons of Quadt, the Vogt in Mönchengladbach receives the income. In 1822, instead of a pan mill, the oil mill with a wedge press was given a pounder to crush the oilseed, which enabled the mill to grind for more than 5 hours a day.
