Observation tower windmill stump
On the gently sloping southern flank of the Saalberg, around 1.7 km south-south-east of its summit and just under 1.6 km west-south-west of the village of Sonneborn, there has been a windmill since the beginning of the 18th century (approx. 315 m above sea level ; ⊙ ), as evidenced in 1869 was in operation. There, once harvested grain was ground, which had to be carted from the surrounding villages with great effort. Business decline gradually followed - certainly because of the poor road conditions. The mill fire of 1882 is documented; the mill was not rebuilt. In 1928 their ruins were converted into a lookout tower - called the windmill stump and also called the windmill pot.
