Hossesche Windmill; The people in front of the mill are the last miller Heinrich Hosse , his wife and his son Walter Hosse .

The Hossesche Windmühle was a windmill in the Westerhüsen district, which is now part of the city of Magdeburg .

history

The mill was built in 1851 as a post mill by the community baker Johann Lichtenfeld (born November 15, 1790 in Hof Elmer Strasse 4 ; † December 24, 1853). It was on a two acre piece of land with the field name Wanne am Holzwege on the way over the Magdeburg – Leipzig railway line from the Hambuerger Hof restaurant in the village of Westerhüsen to today's Holsteiner Strasse. This route is likely to be the present Schleswiger Strasse. Lichtenfeld had the field already in 1821 from Christian Böckelmann ( Kieler Straße 9) Bought. The address of the property on Hauptstrasse, which later belonged to the mill, is today Alt Westerhüsen 49 . The trestle of the mill came from Tangerhütte . On the house beam was the year 1819, which referred to the prehistory of the windmill. Farmer Hermann Lichtenfeld brought the buck to Westerhüsen by cart. It is possible that other furnishings in the mill also came from this. The client Lichtenfeld, who initially lived in Hof Elmener Straße 4, died in December 1853.

After the inheritance dispute, Lichtenfeld's eldest son Christian Lichtenfeld (* December 14, 1832, † May 29, 1884) took over the inheritance of the mill. The street-side property at Alt Westerhüsen 49 was built on in 1857 by the wheelwright Friedrich Buchholz . In 1867 the mill was sold to master miller Andreas Meißner , residing at Alt Westerhüsen 160 , who only remained the owner for a short time. Meißner moved to Grabow as early as 1869 and sold the mill to Gottlieb Hosse (born April 24, 1839 in Westerhüsen; † 1894), to whom the name also goes back. Until then, Hosse had lived on the Alt Westerhüsen 19 property , which he sold to Christian Lichtenfeld . Instead, Hosse also bought the Alt Westerhüsen 49 property . In 1890, Gottlieb Hosse's nephew, Heinrich Hosse (born March 13, 1863 in Salbke ; † March 20, 1923), took over the property and mill. In 1921 he converted the system into a motor mill and also used components from the old post mill. The post mill was then demolished in February 1922 as the last of the Westerhüser windmills after the motor mill was completed. The mill originally rested on four large red ashlar stones, which were sold to the Magdeburg sculptor W. Ahrends after the demolition . One of the stones was erected in 1933 as an Adolf Hitler stone on the grounds of the Sudenburg Hospital, today's Magdeburg University Hospital .

A report from around 1938 states that the former Mühlberg can still be recognized.

From around 1946 to 1975 the well-known toy manufacture of the master craftsman Rolf Funke was located on the property .
