The Belgenbach Mill is located between Imgenbroich and Eicherscheid in the valley on the Belgenbach. The valley is about 130 m deep, in a V shape.

The Belgenbach Mill was built in 1544 as a successor to the original mill, 1 km further up the stream. In modern times it was rebuilt by the "Eifel priest" Josef Bayer and temporarily used as a Catholic youth center[1]. Parts of the buildings are now rented out as holiday homes.

“A privileged place in the Bible is reserved for Mary, who was chosen to become the Mother of God and to contribute positively to the Incarnation and Redemption. In the past, the emphasis was primarily on the gracious nature of divine election. Today, Mary’s response is also highlighted, her ‘yes,’ or rather, her ‘active and responsible consent.’ A responsible and courageous ‘yes’ to a task that encompassed the whole world…”

Text: Albino Luciani, Patriarch of Venice, 1975 (later Pope John Paul I)
