Lameschmillen

It marks the southern limit of the Dumontshaff Project at Dumontshaff/Dumontshof which converted a stretch of the upper Alzette into a nature reserve.

There has been a mill at the same site since at least the twelfth century when, along with Esch, Mittendal and Bergem it formed part of the parish (forerunner of the Commune) of Schifflange.

1530: Johanna de Mercy built the moated castle of Mittendal at Bergem, to which the rights over the Lamescher Mill belonged.

1719: Paul Schweich marries Johanna Nicholas, meaning that Ludwina Petronella Eydt had died by now.

1731: Marie-Marguerite de Stassin (Widow of Charles-Bernard du Bost-Moulin, elder daughter of Ludvine Petronella Bosch by her first husband) lets Lameschmühle to Nicolas Kribs of Huncherange.

1876: A new mill building was built (the door lintel was dated and initialled MP 1881 ML) with a turbine underneath.

1922: Gustav Wilhelm and his wife Josephine Scheltgen purchase the mill at auction on 15 February, from the estate of Peter Müller.

Wilhelm recalled that on his first evening at the mill upon taking possession, he shouted aloud to express his joy, knowing that all around him was his land, and nobody in earshot.

New living quarters constructed between the Stable and the miller's cottage; a turret added with initials GW-1922-JS.

Stores hidden by the Wilhelm and Diederich families (behind a false wall where the Mazout now stands) were not discovered.
