Vordermühle is a village in the town of Wipperfürth which is a Northrhine-Westfalian municipality in the Oberbergischer Kreis, about 40 km north-east of Cologne. Geographical positionLike the close village of Hintermühle, Vordermühle has its own water supply. Villages near Vordermühle are Neeskotten, Klemenseichen, Wingenbach and Berrenberg. Three rivers run through this village: the "Wingenbacher Siefen", the "Stüttemer Siefen" and the "Dierdorfer Siefen". All of them finally flow into the "Lindlarer Sülz". The country lane L302 from Wipperfürth to the town of Frielingsdorf (Lindlar) passes through the village. HistoryThe village was first mentioned in the year of 1548 as tho der Mollen. A simple translation of the village's name is "In front of the mill", which refers to the existence of a mill in this village. The chapelThe chapel of Vordermühle was built in 1683. The population of the surrounding villages gather there in May to pray. In the year of 1843 the small chapel was destroyed; its owner, Peter Wilhelm Stege, r rebuilt the chapel. The new chapel was bigger, 22 feet long and 15 feet wide and had a small tower with a bell. The population of Vordermühle longed for the chapel's lustration in order to celebrate Mass in the chapel. It failed because the question of who paid the charges was unanswered. In 1845 Peter Wilhelm Steger and his family donated the chapel to the catholic parish in Wipperfürth and announced together with Johann Peter Schnippering to care for the chapel. On May the 17th 1845 priest Dünner lustrated the chapel to the Virgin Mother. In 1857 a fire destroyed four houses and the chapel in Vordermühle. Again, Petr Wilhelm Steger rebuild the chapel with help of Johann Christian Börsch. Two years later priest Dünner lustrated two small bells. The chapel was renovated in 1930. The expenses were paid by a collection in the school district of Vordermühle. Till 2004 the mass was celebrated every month in the chapel. A lack of priests in Wipperfürth makes this no longer possible today. The MillToday the former mill is a bakery with a water wheel. The old schoolThe building of the former school is renovated and used as a tenement. Pupils from Vordermühle go to Agathaberg in order to attend a primary school. Bus routesBus stop in Vordermühle:
