Arberger mill
The Arberger Mill in Bremen was built in 1803. It is a Dutch mill .
The location is very old, because before that there had been a post windmill since 1582 , the beams of which were partly used for the new mill. Since 1905 it has had a motor that can drive the grinder even when there is no wind.
The mill is very well preserved, but no grain has been ground here since 1968.
It is the oldest surviving windmill in the city of Bremen and has been a listed building since 1973. The owner was awarded the Federal Prize for Handicrafts in Monument Preservation (1st Prize) in 2011 because he repaired the mill with exemplary commitment.
