Düppler mill
The Düppler mill is a former Dutch windmill in the Neu Olvenstedt district of Magdeburg .
The windmill was built on a small hill southeast of Olvenstedt in 1845 by the master miller Heinrich Lange , who also had another mill in Olvenstedt. The mill, later called Düppler Mühle, had three gears for flour , pearl barley and oil . The name Düppler Mühle was intended to commemorate the storming of the Düppeler Schanzen north of Flensburg by Prussia in the German-Danish War on April 18, 1864, in which Magdeburg pioneers were also involved.
The mill remained in operation until 1899. In 1901 the windmill blades were removed. The mill building made of quarry stone masonry was then used as a restaurant with an adjoining pavilion . Around 1920 apartments were set up in the mill. In the 1970s the building burned out. During the GDR era , a renewed expansion of the listed building was planned, but not implemented. With the construction of the new district of Neu Olvenstedt, the mill was cut off from the old village of Olvenstedt and assigned to the new district.
The building is currently still empty. In 2011 the association for the preservation of Düppler Mühle Magdeburg e. V. , a development association that is dedicated to preserving the monument.
The naming of the adjacent street as Düppler Mühlenstraße also indicates the existence of the mill .
