    The green house is the Obenrüdener Kotten and a former grinding cottage, today an industrial monument with two holiday apartments.
    Unfortunately, the Kotten was also affected by the flood disaster in July 2021 and the apartments cannot be rented at the moment.

      Here, at the site of the former Blaumühle, a half-timbered cottage was built in 1739, in which Solingen cutlery was ground, pleated (finely ground) and polished. After a fire in 1906, the Kotten was rebuilt as a brick building in its present form. In the decades that followed, almost 100 people worked on the grinding and pleating wheels. Up until the 1960s, the energy for a water mill wheel came from the Wupper.
