Dorsten's History - staion 3: Tüshaus Mill Translation: Lyn

The Tüshaus Mill is a water-mill in Dorsten-Deuten in North-Rhine-Westphalia. The mill is on the southern edge of the wooded area of "Üfter Mark", where the water of the Hamm Brook "Hammbach" coming from Rhade to the Mill Pond "Mühlenteich" is restricted by a dam.

The history of the Tüshaus Farmhouse, to which the mill belongs, goes back to the year 1382 and the history of the mill goes back to 1615. Deuten - which has been a district of Dorsten since 1975 and of Wulfen-Deuten beforehand - has a history going back 1111 years.
