The name "Mehlbek" originated from the Low German designation for "mill stream." It refers to the Mühlenau, which flows into the Bekau, where the watermill was located that gave rise to the estate of Mehlbek. This watermill, along with the settlement, was gifted by the Danish King Christian III in 1538 to the knight Johann Rantzau, who established the estate and the manor. His son Heinrich Rantzau expanded the estate to include the village of Kaaks as well as parts of the villages of Hohenaspe and Huje. His grandson Erich Rantzau sold the estate in 1616 to his relative Cai von Ahlefeldt.
