            Bad Essen is a small municipality and health resort in the district of Osnabrück, in Lower Saxony. Bad Essen with its historical centre is located on the German Timber-Frame Road.

The "Old Water Mill," formerly called "Wedersmol," as the court mill of the Maierhof is named in 1359 in a fief register of the bishop's court of the Osnabrück cathedral chapter.
This fief register listed regular compulsory levies on grain meal.

The mill building as it still stands today is said to have been rebuilt around 1780. There is still a correspondence from this time about disputes between the "Meyer zu Essen" and the peasantry Essen around the mill pond.

After the abolition of the mill constraint in 1831, the Hofwassermühle was probably also freely leased. 

Until 1880 it was managed by a miller named Bosse. Then lay still for a long time until miller Pieper took over. The miller Pieper also built a steam engine, above the mill at the mill pond, to drive the probably two grinding courses in case of lack of water.

The city of Essen became Bad-Essen in 1902, and got a station of the Wittlager district railway. The miller Pieper promised an economic upturn and built a new mill with roller grinding chairs and machine drive near the station.
miller Pieper gave up the mills in Bad-Essen in 1905 and emigrated to the Poznan area. 

This was the opportunity for the miller Hinrich Melcher to take over the mill.

His son Wilhelm then took over milling and operated the "Old Water Mill" until 1935 for feed meal.

The mill was donated in 1948 by the last Meyerhof heir to the municipality of Bad-Essen.
