The Welsche Mühle, first mentioned in the 15th century, is located with its east facade on the Haarbachtalstrasse. In the past, the mill was generally referred to as "the mill of Oberhaaren". The name "Welsche Mühle" first appeared in 1780. Apparently, the mill was named after the then owner, the imperial captain and Aachen mayor N.C. named Charlier. It probably came from the French-speaking area, which is why it was probably called "the Welsch" and this name was transferred to the mill. The mill was primarily used to grind grain. There are two mills in the mill, one used to grind rye and the other to grind wheat. The "Welsche Mühle" was in operation until 1961.
