Located directly on the little river Anger and embedded in an old English landscape park is the cotton spinning mill Cromford in Ratingen. The “Alte Fabrik” (Old Mill), the “Hohe Fabrik” (High Mill), the “Kontor” (office) and of course the residence of the family of the entrepreneur Brügelmann were all built prior to 1800. Together the unique complex forms the first completely mechanical cotton spinning mill on the European continent and today the LVR-Industriemuseum Ratingen.
