    The Schwanenmühle was located on the named after her street in Langenfeld-Wiescheid in the Krüdersheide, where today stands the same inn. In the immediate vicinity runs the border to Solingen district Ohligs; so close that can be read on older postcards "Ohligs, Schwanenmühle".

      Rare animal and plant species live in the heath and the marsh forests, such as the wood lizard, woodcock and bog lily. The Mittlere Wupper and Haus Bürgel Biological Stations (City of Düsseldorf, Mettmann District) are therefore committed to the preservation and renaturation of the heath and marsh forest on the Bergische Heideterrasse. To this end, non-native trees (spruces, larches) are felled and ditches are closed in order to restore the natural groundwater level.
      The Bergische Heideterrasse can be explored on foot or by bike. Information boards along the path provide information about the past and present of people, animals and plants.

        "... The Schwanenmühle is said to have been built in 1554, and was certainly there by the middle of the 16th century at the latest. According to tradition, the demolition material from the "motte", the old Schwanenburg, was used for the construction.
        The mill was probably partially rebuilt in 1771-1772. "With the sum of 118 Reichstaler, of which the master carpenter Johann Peter Winkels contributed 20, the master mason Johann Bonrath 17 and a master joiner 8 Reichstaler, a complete new construction was not possible. The woodcutters, who were assigned the lumber in the Haus Graven forests, issued an invoice for 33 Reichstaler; a high sum, compared to the daily wage of 3 Reichsthaler that the nailsmith Kirschbaum demanded."
        In 1786, repairs were carried out "from roof to floor". The oven also had to be set in new stones. The construction cost was over 200 Reichstaler.
        In the middle of the 19th century, the mill had an overshot water wheel (8 HP) with a gradient of 8 feet. There was one grinding gear each for wheat and grain. ..."
