history
Previous construction
As early as 1874, the forerunner of today's mill was the first mill in Schweindorf. The miller Tönjes Eckhoff built a one-story gallery dutchman with sail gate wings, which was tracked via a codend . The octagon and the cap were thatched with thatch. The mill had a pelt, a wheat and a break passage. In 1901 the teacher Johann Klaashen bought the mill. In August 1906 the mill burned down due to a hot drive gear.
Current mill
After the fire, Johann Klaasehn had today's two-story gallery Dutch built with codend in 1907. In 1932, lightning strikes damaged the masonry and a wing tip. In 1949 the mill became the property of Dietrich Klaashen and his sister. Due to dilapidation, the wings, the cap and the gallery had to be dismantled in 1961. Without wind power, the mill continued to operate with an electric motor. The final shutdown took place in 1965 under the last miller, Heino Klaashen. In the following years the buildings were used as storage rooms by the local Raiffeisen cooperative. After the dissolution of the Raiffeisen cooperative in 1992, the remaining parts of the mill fell into disrepair.
In February 1992 the mill stump was bought by an owner association and in June 1992 the Schweindorfer Mühlenverein was founded with the aim of maintaining and repairing the mill. The restoration of the mill took place in several individual steps over the next few years. In 1993, the octagon was first dismantled and restored on the ground next to the mill building. In 1995 a new gallery was also built on the floor. At the same time, the roof structure of the mill torso was repaired. On October 14, 1995, the circumferential gallery was lifted onto the mill stump with the help of a truck crane, then the octagon was put back on. In 1996 the floors inside the mill were renewed and in autumn 1997 the renovation of the clinker masonry of the mill substructure was completed. On July 4, 1998, a new mill cap could be placed on the octagon of the mill and in October 1998 the codend was attached with which the mill cap is turned into the wind. The climax of the restoration work was the assembly of the new wings in August 2001. At the Mühlenfest 2002, the successful restoration of the Klaashensche Mühle was celebrated, in which a total of around 320,000 D-Marks were invested. On September 17th, 2002 the mill was equipped with textile sails on the mill wing.
