History

Éitermillen as a settlement dates back to the 19th century. Oetrange-Moulin is listed in the 1890 census as a locality having a population of 8.^[7] Eitermillen was later mentioned in a decree in 1894 allowing for the path between Éitermillen and Kackerterhaff to see maintenance at the cost of 200 Luxembourgish Francs.^[8][9] An alternative name, "Moulin Diederich" is found on various maps from 1905 to 1939.^[10][11]

In 1897 a building was constructed on Route de Remich which is now central to Éitermillen. It was converted in 1969 to the restaurant "Hostellerie La Cheminée". In 1974 a traffic collision destroyed the chimney attached to the building. The restaurant would later become "Ma Langue Sourit", a 2 Michelin star restaurant.^[12][13]
