This paper mill, originally an oil mill, was created around 1410. Around 1640, the mill was converted into a paper mill. In 1790, a merchant took over the operation. He already founded a paper mill in a nearby town in 1797 and took over another one in 1821 as a secondary company. He produced so-called needle paper and, after 1815, refined paper.

In 1822 there were two water wheels, a ‘Schelmühle’, three handicrafts and 48 workers. Since 1842, the water mill was equipped with a steam boiler and since 1865 with a turbine. In 1890, the mill was initially sold to an entrepreneur from Cologne. In 1918, the mill was part of the soda pulp and paper mill A.G. Berlin and remained in their possession at least until 1932. The factory building was built over the Teichbach and further expanded. A few years after the Second World War, paper production was discontinued. Until their decommissioning around 1965, fertilizer lime was still ground. Since then, the mill has been decaying and is actually a ruin.
