As covered by the history writer Wilhelm Hucke in the Elsener country book the Bishop of Paderborn has donated „the fisch pond” of Helsen (Elsen) including a mill to the monastery Abdinghof. Name and age of the mill were not mentioned, but its existence.
Centuries later, several mill landlords have been mentioned in historical scripts such as:
1630 Liborio’s Linnenbrink "zum Altenging"
1673 his wife as widow of the died miller Linnenbrink "in Altenginge"
1679 Wilhelm Theodor Linnenbrink, called Valcop, "Altenginger zu Elsen"
1709 Rötger Linnenbrink, "Müller zum Altenging"
The designation "zum Altenging", "in Altenginge" or "Altenginger zu Elsen" are changing appellations in ancient certificates. The ancestry of the name plays an important role for researches of the mill’s age.
According to the well-known philologist Prof. Dr. Josef Brüggemann (Mühlheim/Ruhr) associate literary editor of the „Stein’sche History book“ and distinguished classicist of the westphalian dialect, the appellation “Altenginge” is referencing to the clan of the “Engern”. "Altenginge" is explicit for „Alt-Engingen", which means as much as Alt-Engern. The Engern-clan were cultivating as „Angrivarier“ down to the river Weser, crossing the „Teutoburger Forest” and were excelling the leading element in the times of Saxon’s wars between Eastphalia and Westphalia. Not only that they settled at the springs of the rivers Ems and Lippe, but also in the country of Paderborn, Warburg and Marsberg, denoted as “Southern Engern country” by the church historican Dr. Wurm. Charlemagne assigned their proselytization to Abbot Sturmius of Fulda. The period after the Saxon’s wars has been the time of proselytization as well as the time of the first parish foundations with the old patronages of Dionysius (Elsen, Buke) and Landolinus (Boke) in the 9th century; and most likely the date of origin of the Engern-mill. The old ruins in the lower holding could be older than 1000 years even.
In 2000 the property was bought by Monika und Markus Wahden and renovated to the today’s hotel and restaurant “Alt-Enginger Mühle”.
