Baesweiler

In 1570, Johann von Reuschenberg had the Setterich mill built in the west of the former Duchy of Jülich-Kleve-Berg. The keystone of the building bears the year of construction. The choice of location in the open field east of Setterich was determined by the westerly winds, which were particularly favourable here.

The mill was first mentioned in a document in the lease agreement of 3 February 1579 between Heinrich von Reuschenberg and the half-peasant Dierich Nobis from the "Kleiner Hof" in Siersdorf. The document is kept in the Central Archives of the Teutonic Order (DOZA) in Vienna.

Grain was milled here until 1912, when the mill ceased operations because it was no longer competitive with steam mills.

Afterwards, it served as a place of residence for various hunting tenants during and after the hunt. This is how the mill stump got its name, "Jagdschlösschen" (hunting lodge). For a while, there was also an excursion café here.
