Rönnau mill
The Rönnauer Mühle is the last remaining windmill in Lübeck .
history
The Galerieholländer windmill (today's address: Rönnauer Weg 8a in Travemünde ) was built in 1850 by the miller of the nearby watermill as a grain mill in order to be independent of the water flow from the Rönnau stream . Despite the Senate's requirement to demolish the watermill after the windmill was completed, both mills operated in parallel for over half a century. Finally, the windmill was powered by a motor and the blades had been removed.
The watermill was demolished in 1970, but the windmill underwent a renovation, which was completed in 1971 and in which the exterior and reconstructed wings were retained, but the interior was converted for residential purposes. In the fall of 1986, the mill suffered severe damage from an arson fire , but it has been restored.
