history
The post mill was built by the builder Lange in 1881 and placed under monument protection and conservation in 1954. In 1957 the mill was finally stopped, but ten years later the restoration began and on October 22, 1969 it was handed over as a museum. Over 4,000 hours have now been invested in the new, true-to-original outer skin. A severe storm caused a fire in the building on November 13, 1972. The storm had set the fixed wings in motion, the pulled brake shoe rubbed hot on the wheel and started the fire. After the subsequent repairs, it was able to reopen in 1973 and in 1979 a big mill festival was celebrated on the occasion of the tenth anniversary of the mill museum and the 975th anniversary of the place. In 1987 the wing damaged by a storm was repaired and in 1998 the entire rod cross was renewed.
