"The Mühlenhof, also called (Electoral) Ross and watermill, is a historic grain and oil mill in today Linn belonging to Krefeld.
The mill is located as part of a farm complex east of the old town of Linn on the outer castle and moat. This moat, formed by the dammed Linner Mühlenbach, also served as a water reservoir for the mill.
Noteworthy is the double drive: Normally, the grinder was driven by a water wheel; but if the mill creek did not carry enough water, there was the possibility of evading a Roßwerk, that is, a goepel driven by workhorses.
The mill is first documented in 1602, but it is believed that the mill is similar in age to the castle Linn and the associated city, which was used to supply the mill. The mill was formerly, as was the nearby Geismühle, a table mill of the Cologne archbishops and electors, rulers of the office Linn and lords of the castle Linn, and enjoyed Mühlenzwang in the parish Lank.
The disadvantage of the favorable location for water supply on the moat, for example, proved in the Thirty Years' War: the mill was unprotected from attacks outside the city fortification, was therefore plundered several times. Finally, it was completely destroyed during the Kurhessian occupation of Linn (1643-45), possibly because it was in the way of an extension of the fortifications. Then it was rebuilt in 1650 as an oil and grain mill.
After the Napoleonic conquest of the left bank of the Rhine Mühlenhof came in the year 1805/06 in the context of the secularization of the archiepiscopal estates together with the castle Linn in the possession of the Krefelder silk manufacturer Isaac de Greiff. This left the mill yard to 1816 to expand a four-winged courtyard in its present form, with the watermill in the south wing, the Roßmühle was integrated into the north wing.
After Isaac de Greiff's death, the court inherited his son Cornelius, who had the area along the mill creek east of the mill to Greiffenhorst Park remodel. About his niece Marianne Rhodius, the court went on as heir again on their cousin Maria Schelleckes and on to their husband Conrad, who finally sold the farm together with other properties in Linn in 1925 to the city of Krefeld, who until today (as of 2010) owner of the Hofes is.

"Due to the ever increasing channeling of rainwater and removal as service water, the mill, like many water mills on the Lower Rhine, had to contend with an ever smaller amount of water in the mill creek." However, to ensure that the mill was always ready for use, it was extended to the Roßmühle at the beginning of the 19th century The Roßwerk was used more and more over the years and finally the water mill operation - especially in competition with the emerging modern steam mills - so uneconomical that it was abandoned around 1900. The mill wheel was preserved in good condition, but today - regardless of the fact that the grinder has been dismantled for a long time - only decoration value, because the mill creek rarely enough water to drive it.
During the Second World War, the Mühlenhof was heavily damaged by bombing, but later restored by the city of Krefeld. The mill, which is the only preserved watermill on the territory of Krefeld, is protected as an architectural monument of the city (number 24). Last in 2004 the roof of the mill and in 2005 the half-timbered barn was restored. The Mühlenhof now serves as a residential building and also houses a café. "
