This highlight 'The Ibach dispute' is part of the Morsbach adventure hiking trail. Why the title 'The Ibach Dispute'? Here are a few sentences about history: The small brook Ibach flows into the Morsbach to the left of the bridge. It's hard to imagine, but its water used to be the livelihood of four mills and hammers. For centuries the brotherly shared stream water was used until everything suddenly changed: The Lindenberg brothers' steel mill burned down on the Büchel in 1856. The new factory that was built not far from here on the heights of the Ibacher Bruch was more than a replacement. In 1864 the bell steelworks with cast steel foundry, hammer mill, grinding shop and two steam boiler systems were put into operation. The water for feeding the steam boilers was to be taken from the flowing Ibach with the approval of the government - the death sentence for the companies dependent on the Ibach, which struggled for water rights over decades. The detailed text can be read on the board attached to the bridge railing (is also attached to the highlight as a photo). From the bridge and to the side of the Morsbach valley you have interesting views of the estuary with its small waterfall.

The tracker mill used to be an excursion restaurant with boats. Directly above the Hermannsmühle stood the Hermannsmühler Kotten, of which no stone can be seen today. The Commers Fulling Mill had stood there for many years, milling cloths. Since when is not known. On February 7, 1708, Elector Johann Wilhelm gave Peter Fuhrmann a concession to add an oil mill to the Commers' fulling mill. In 1715 the name "Fulling Mill above the Mahlemühle" appeared, with which the son Peter Johann Fuhrmann, born in 1711, founded the Wollhaus Fuhrmann in 1733. He later moved to Lennep and through his marriage was accepted into the circle of wool manufacturers Peter Moll, the Hardt brothers, Gottfried Wülfing and J. H. Frielinghaus.
