Mill in 2015

The post mill Oppenwehe is a listed secular building in the district of Oppenwehe of the municipality of Stemwede in the East Westphalian district of Minden-Lübbecke in North Rhine-Westphalia .

History and architecture

The mill was first mentioned in 1705 as the manor mill of the Hüffe manor . In 1868 it was dismantled and transported to Oppenwehe. It was rebuilt at its current location in 1873. In the 1970s, all the buildings around the mill were demolished and the mill itself, with its supports, completely shut down and the side pockets removed. From 1991 the distorting changes of the 1970s were eliminated by completely rebuilding the trestle and the mill house with the side pockets. This new building gave the opportunity to reinstall the original technology and to preserve a producing monument. The mill had sail blades until April 9, 2011. Today the rear end is a right-turning symmetrical wing.
