History A mill was first mentioned in 1349 as "Wessels Mill" on the Nonnenbach stream. At one of the narrowest points in the Nonnenbach valley, the Nonnenbach stream was dammed, creating a drop of 2.50 meters for a mill wheel. The mill belonged to the monastery, later Nottuln Abbey. The miller was a tenant, not the owner, and was paid by the abbey, but was also entitled to a portion of the miller's mill. (Miller: Miller was not paid for in money; rather, a portion of the flour was retained.) The millers changed frequently; there was no hereditary lease. After the abbey was dissolved, the property passed to the state. The Royal Prussian government sold the mill to the last tenant, Bietmann. Purchase agreement for the sale of the mill to the former tenant Bietmann in 1821 Purchase agreement for the sale of the mill to the former tenant Bietmann in 1821 After his death, the heirs sold the mill in 1879 to the weaver Anton Zumbülte, who lived in the house behind the mill. Originally, the mill stood on the other side of the Nonnenbach stream, i.e., in what is now the front yard of the house, as can be seen in an old photo from around 1910: Muehlenstraße 1910 Photo of Mühlenstraße, taken between 1910 and 1914 In 1914, the young miller Heinrich Zumbülte (1888-1984) built the current mill building. The final renovation took place in 1932 with the installation of a roller mill and a large purification system. Both made it possible to mill white flour for bread baking with a high degree of purity. For this purpose, the grain was milled up to seven times, sifted and cleaned ever more finely. Until the 1950s, the mill was a thriving business, with farmers from all over Nottuln bringing their grain (wheat, rye) to be milled. Heinrich Zumbülte (1888-1984) worked in his mill well into old age. Heinrich Zumbülte (1888-1984) worked in his mill well into old age. In the 1960s, mills began to decline throughout Germany, and small mills became uneconomical. Work had to be reduced more and more, initially focusing on the milling of bread grain, and later, feed grain was also ground less and less. In the 1970s, milling operations ceased completely. The last entry in the ledger was "grinding" on March 22, 1979. Animal feed was still sold until mid-1984. In the 1960s, flour and animal feed were still delivered by horse-drawn cart. In the 1960s, flour and animal feed were still delivered by horse-drawn cart. The mill has been idle ever since. The owner family is still trying to save the mill from decay. In 2014, one hundred years after its construction, the exterior of the mill was restored. Now it shines in new splendor. Report on this in the WN (German Newspaper) Restoration of the exterior, spring 2014 Restoration of the exterior, spring 2014 In 2015, with the help of the local history society, construction of a new water wheel began. The wheel turned for the first time on September 11, 2016. Since then, several mill enthusiasts have worked regularly in the mill to restore further parts of the mill. For this tireless commitment, the "Mill Friends of the Nottuln Local History Association" were awarded the 1st Nottuln Local History Prize in 2020. And in 2024, the mill enthusiasts succeeded: all the machines are running again! Link to the website: https://muehle-zumbuelte.de/
