Langenrader windmill
The Langenrader Windmühle , called Sventana since 1985 , is an old windmill in the municipality of Ascheberg north of the district Langenrade and south of the village Karpe in the district of Plön in Schleswig-Holstein .
Due to its elevated position, it is clearly visible and one of the landmarks of the Ascheberg community.
There is a four-story gallery tower mill , on a back stone octagonal base (tower) with a slate thatched roof bears and a covered with a metal cap.
history
In small mills
The windmill was built in 1859/60 by the mill builder Carl Friedrich Trahn (1806–1888) from Neustadt in Holstein for the miller Meyer in Kleinmühlen southeast of Plön as a Erdholländermühle . There it had wings covered with canvas, and it was aligned against the wind using a so-called "star", a long wooden pole that reached down to the ground.
In long wheel
In 1890 the windmill was bought by the miller Wittgrefe, dismantled in Kleinmühlen and rebuilt in Langenrade, about 10 km away, as a replacement for a burnt down predecessor. The windmill received a raised substructure and a gallery (and thus changed from a Dutchman to a gallery Dutchman) as well as (according to the current state of the art) louvre blades and a compass rose (for alignment against the wind). Since 1903 the mill could be driven by machine power when the wind was too weak (or no wind).
The mill operation was expanded after 1946, whereby from 1949 the mill was no longer driven by wind and the blades were removed. In 1967 the cap of the mill was destroyed by a storm. In 1976 the mill was stopped. Between 1982 and 1990 the mill was rebuilt into a functioning windmill by new owners, including Renate and Uwe Karstens. After further installations, the Langenrader mill has reached the technical standard of the time around 1900. In 1997 the gallery was renewed and the originally built-in sail wings were replaced by Venetian blinds.
The windmill is now used for grinding grain and is open to visitors.
In 2012 the mill expert and owner Uwe Karstens received the German Prize for Monument Protection.
