The Gressenicher Mill is a historic mill in Eschweiler, more precisely in the southeastern part of the city near Scherpenseel. It is a listed building and currently serves as a residential building. The mill is located on the Omerbach, which forms the border with Langerwehe.
The Gressenicher Mill was first mentioned in documents in 1646 and was referred to as "Urligsmühle" in 1715, possibly due to its use as an oil mill or the name of its owner. The mill was in operation as a grain mill until 1930 and was dismantled after the Second World War.

Unfortunately, apart from the sign pointing to the mill, you don't see much more of the (former?!) purpose of this place
