Borner Mühle, Watermill in Brüggen, Germany.

Borner Mühle is a former watermill on the right bank of the Schwalm in Born, Brüggen. The two-storey brick building with iron wall anchors dates from around 1800, with a newer right-hand section. At times it ran three undershot water wheels; one was given a winter housing in 1912. The Kranenbach flows into the Schwalm at the mill.

The Cologne Abbey of St. Pantaleon owned the mill in the 12th century, and from 1412 residents were required to grind their grain there. This obligation reveals how religious institutions controlled key economic activities in the region.

The mill served multiple crafts in the local economy, grinding grain, pressing oil, and processing textiles for the surrounding communities. This variety reflects how essential such facilities were to the Lower Rhine region's working life.

The building underwent extensive renovation in 1980 and was later converted into a hotel and restaurant, though operations ceased in 2014. Today the structure can be viewed from outside, giving insight into the historic mill construction.

The mill was temporarily run with three undershot water wheels, one of which was given a winter housing in 1912. A fire on 23 December 1976 destroyed the roof and most of the fittings; the building reopened in 1980 as a hotel and restaurant, which closed in February 2014.
