The village is on the upper reaches of the Rehbach stream, between two reservoirs and owes its name to a number of mills which were established over the centuries on the upper course of the Rehbach. Around 1800 it was described as a rich farming village. A typical Westerwald farmhouse from Mademühlen is display in the Hessenpark Open Air Museum.
