The island mill in Norderney, called Selden Rüst, is a listed building , built in 1862 as a flour mill for Dutch people on the island of Norderney in Lower Saxony . Along with the cape and lighthouse, it is one of the city's landmarks .

history

The only mill on one of the islands of Lower Saxony was built in the form of a one-story gallery dutchman by the miller Ihbe Lammers Hellmers from Easter March in order to be able to supply the island's bakers with wheat and rye flour. The reason was the around 2000 inhabitants and 2815 spa guests (in 1864) who were on the island at that time. The predecessors of the windmill were the not very profitable hand or horse mills. In addition, flour had to be ordered from the mainland, which was expensive. The mill stands on a flat dune, which at the time of construction was outside the dykes in the flood plain. Today it is the intersection of Marienstraße and Mühlenstraße, east of today's city center of Norderney, opposite the Napoleonschanze at the island's new spa gardens. The mill itself is a listed building and industrial monument and is called Selden Rüst in Low German , which rarely translates to rest . In 1895, the master miller Eilert Ibben Fleetjer at the age of 56, who had a windmill built in Schirum as early as 1875/76 , bought the mill and handed it over to his son Okko Luitjens Fleetjer in 1910 , who owns it until stayed in 1962. In the 19th century, the two millstones were able to grind up to five tons of the grain ( wheat , rye and barley ) grown on the island for the Norderney bakers every day in winds of around five to six wind strengths .

The octagon and the cap are the only buildings on Norderney that are covered with thatch . The compass rose above the back of the mill cap is used to track the blades and turns the cap with the sail-covered blades into the wind via an angular gear. The brake bar protrudes below the compass rose (with a fox), with which the band brake on the comb wheel can be activated to brake or lock the wing axis. After a wing was broken in March 1951 due to a storm, the mill burned down completely on April 24 of the same year after repair work on the lightning rod system. The Norderneyer fire brigade put out the fire and was able to save one of the island's landmarks from complete destruction. Since the mill was sufficiently fire-insured by the Fleetjer family, it could be restored to some extent from these funds. Mill operations could be resumed just a few days after the fire. Restoration work began in 1965 by the mill builder Hermann Böök from Dunum in East Frisia . This conversion work also included the expansion of the ground floor with the restaurant that is still located in the mill today.

Repair work

The thatched roof was renewed in 1990 and the wings replaced in 1992. In September 2011 a load-bearing beam of the mill cap was renewed by the carpenter Henno Böök from Dunum.

Others

The mill has been a designated location on the Lower Saxony Mill Road since 2010 . A picture exhibition on the history of the mill is located in the island's conversation house. The mill is operated at irregular intervals by volunteer mill inspectors for demonstration purposes.
