Westphalian Mühlenstrasse

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The Westfälische Mühlenstraße is a name for a tourism concept in the Minden-Lübbecke district , which connects 43 restored mills to a route that can be experienced. The circuit leaves the district for a few kilometers in only two places: between Heimsen and Großenheerse, it runs for a part through the district of Nienburg ( Lower Saxony ) near the Lower Saxony Mühlenstrasse ; The route between Oberbauerschaft and Holzhausen runs through the Herford district .

Many of the mills in Westfälische Mühlenstraße are ready for operation and can be viewed on opening days. On almost every weekend and on public holidays between March and October, at least one of the mills that has its grinding and baking day on that date is open. Almost all mills hold guided tours and a tourist program at the same time on Whit Monday (the German Milling Day ) and on the fourth Sunday in August (the District Milling Day ).

The mills are looked after by local mill associations under the leadership of the Petershagen mill building yard. The mill circle still houses the office of the German Society for Milling Customer and Mill Maintenance (DGM) eV in the mill building yard

The DGM is the only German founding member of Via Molina . In 2018, milling organizations from the Netherlands , Germany and Denmark joined forces with the aim of having the Via Molina certified as a cultural route by the Council of Europe . This cultural route is intended to connect mills throughout Germany and other European countries in the medium to long term. The Westphalian Mühlenstraße has been linked to the Lower Saxony Mühlenstraße for years by connecting three mills in the Nienburg district via a secondary route.

history

At the end of the 1960s, the district home keeper Wilhelm Brepohl recognized the importance of the mill remains in the district. With a few loyal followers, he set about maintaining and restoring the mills, thereby laying the foundation for the renaissance of mills in the western federal states. Due to the early decision to preserve the historic machines, the mill circle became the pioneer in the maintenance program for wind and water mills in northern Germany. Soon this project was also financially supported by the district and the state of North Rhine-Westphalia, support programs of the EC and later the EU were added. To this day, the district has restored mills with its mill maintenance program 43 - some of which have only been preserved as ruins. Windmills , water mills , horse mills and a reconstructed ship mill on the Weser were arranged to form a unique open-air museum .

concept

The mills considered in Mühlenstrasse will be leased on a long-term basis and then handed over to a local mill group for care. The main task of the mill group concerned is to look after visitors to the mills. In addition, volunteers are needed as workers in a manufacturing monument. The structural supervision is in the hands of the mill building yard, which carries out all planning and restoration work. At times it was planned to set up a training mill to teach members of milling groups the skills of grinding and baking in monuments. However, this idea was not realized.

In the mid-1980s, Westfälische Mühlenstraße was successfully integrated into a tourism concept for the Minden-Lübbecke district, which not only defined the maintenance of the technology, but also its tourist marketing as a focus. A mill route was laid out largely parallel to Mühlenstraße, which opens up the mills as a long-distance cycle path. In both the Mühlenstrasse and the Mühlenroute, great importance was attached to the fact that day trippers can easily find the objects they are looking for using signposting systems.

Christmas lighting of the Destel windmill

The number of overnight stays increased, and the circle was firmly connected with the concept of mills. The self-designation of the Minden-Lübbecke district as the “mill district” from the 1990s onwards plays an important role. Agricultural products are also marketed under this logo. On some grinding and baking days, the mill associations of some mills reach the limits of their capacities due to the high number of visitors.

Some of the windmills along the Mühlenstraße or the Mühlenroute are illuminated during Advent and Christmas .

Mills on the Westphalian Mill Road

The numbering corresponds to the current mill card and is used for faster allocation.

Post windmills

Post windmills consist of a building that looks like a box that is placed on a trestle. The plane of rotation is therefore under the box, all machines are housed in the box and must therefore be rotated with it. As a result, such mills can only accommodate a limited number of machines.

The following post windmills belong to the Westphalian Mühlenstrasse:

Post mill Neuenknick

The Neuenknick post mill was built in Warmsen in 1747 . It has been preserved in its original design. At the beginning of 1899 the mill was sold for 600 thalers, dismantled and transported to Neuenknick on wagons. In addition to a large shot tunnel, two other smaller grinding tunnels were set up that could be powered by a crude oil engine or wind. After a damage, the mill was operated with only two blades at times. The grinding aisles were expanded in the early 1980s.

Post mill Oppenwehe

The Oppenwehe post mill has an eventful history. It was first mentioned in 1705 as the manor mill of the Hüffe manor . In 1868 it was dismantled and transported to Oppenwehe. It was rebuilt at its current location in 1873. In the 1870s, all buildings around the mill were demolished and the mill itself, with its supports, completely shut down and the side pockets removed. From 1991 the "sins" of the 1970s were eliminated by completely rebuilding the trestle and the mill house with the side pockets. This new building gave the opportunity to reinstall the original technology and to receive a production monument.

Post mill woe

According to current knowledge, the post windmill Wehe is the oldest windmill in the Minden-Lübbecke district. A mill has stood here since around 1370. It was mentioned as a bishop's mill in a document book from 1370. This is how the Weher mill story begins.

At the end of the 19th century a second wheel was added to the pinion in order to be able to install a second gearbox that operated two gears and machinery via an upright back gear. This enabled the mill to provide energy for further machines without major modifications . The transmission was additionally driven by a diesel engine mounted under the mill , so that the wind drive was temporarily omitted. The "Baumi" make diesel engine is still under the mill box, but it is no longer functional. In addition, a bag was attached to just one side to increase storage capacity. During the Second World War , the mill operated with only two blades. In 1944 the iron shaft head was sawed off, it fell down and severely damaged the mill box. The damage was only patched up poorly. In 1953 the miller's trade was finally deregistered after only one electric motor was used to drive a grinding gear. In the years that followed, the mill was left to decay, so that it had to be completely dismantled and completely rebuilt. Some original parts were still quite well preserved and could be rebuilt, such as the house tree, the flour bar and a few more. From 1979 to 1982 the mill was restored and rebuilt with the simplest technical equipment, just one shot passage. The post mill Wehe was officially opened for the 1984 Rahden Week .

Dutch windmills

With Dutch windmills , the plane of rotation has moved upwards under the hood, the housing is a fixed building and can accommodate much more machinery than the post mill and can be built higher up into the wind (better energy use).

Königsmühlen are a special case of the Dutch windmill type . These were built on behalf of the Prussian state in the 18th century and operated for the account of the tax authorities. As a rule, they were hereditary leases towards the end of the same century. The windmills built as Königsmühle have structural features in common: They have relatively thick masonry, allow a clear view of the surrounding area, and in wars the windows could be used as loopholes . Within the king mills existed in the 18th century Mahlzwang The Prussian king as sovereign guaranteed income from its mills by forbidding it to use other mills in severe penalties. Of the Hollender windmills in the Minden-Lübbecke district, the Eilhausen, Großenheide and Seelenfeld mills are Königsmühlen.

The following Dutch windmills belong to the Westphalian Mill Road:

Windmill Bierde

Windmill Bierde

The Wallholländer in Bierde was built in 1802. There are some special shapes on this mill. On the one hand there is the straight wooden octagon from the ground to the top. A simpler construction than the otherwise tapered mill body, which dissipates the wind better and reduces the dynamic pressure on the blades. But it also works like the mill in Bierde shows. Then there is the Eichast fork made into the wind rose buck. On the other hand, the mill is equipped with new louvre blades, which are not controlled with a pierced blade shaft, but rather by a Hecht blind control, an indication of a subsequent change in the blade type. Hecht's blind control is extremely rare in the Mühlenkreis. The mill's gearbox is not yet functional, so the blades rotate without load.

The steam mill is housed in a building next to the windmill. The building offered much more space and could be powered by the new energy steam. This mill worked until 1990, at the end for its own use.

Destel windmill

Destel windmill

The gallery Dutch, built at the beginning of the 19th century on a plastered rubble floor, with its boarded and shingled octagon has got its original appearance after the restoration with cap, star and windy sail wings. The gallery is barely visible as it is surrounded by low trees.

Windmill Dützen

Windmill Dützen

The exact date of construction of the "Hummelbecker Windmühle", as the Dützer Mühle has always been called after the oldest Dützer district, has not been established. Statements by the miller from Bölhorst at that time allow the conclusion that the mill was built between 1808 and 1813. Since the restoration, the Wallhollander with his high passage has again had a hood, a compass rose and windy sail wings. In the 1930s the mill was converted into a motor mill . The wings were initially preserved, when they were rotten, the mill was covered with a concrete slab. Only as part of the mill maintenance measures of the mill circle was a hood with wings placed on the mill again. They have no function.

Eickhorst windmill

Eickhorst windmill

The Wallholländer Storck's Mühle was built in 1848. The conical mill tower was built from rubble stones. It was plastered on the weather side. The mill tower is surrounded by an earth wall. This wall was also walled up from rubble stones. This mill is also supported by a motor that has been driving the mill since 1909. In addition, the field rods on the wing system (that is, the pair of wings that lie in front of the house rods to the field) were replaced by venetian blind wings, which were easier to operate.

Windmill Eilhausen, Königsmühle

Eilhausen windmill

The Galerieholländer was built in 1748 and has a round mill tower made of sandstone. The mill has a wind rose system and windable sail gate wings. Next to the mill there is a half-timbered building and an open shed for looking after guests.

Map view of the mill

Windmill icebergs

Windmill in icebergs

The Erdholländer was built around 1855 and moved from 1989–1992 to its current location on the edge of icebergs (Ahmserort). The lower half of the mill was made of rubble stone and the upper half of carefully worked sandstone. The mill tower is only slightly conical and again has a compass rose system and louvre blades. The windmill is also known under the name Röckemanns Mühle.

On the night of January 18-19, 2007, the mill was destroyed by storm Kyrill because the safety measures were inadequate. Despite the brake being applied, the wings started moving. Due to the developed frictional heat, the windmill burned out completely down to the foundation walls. The mill was secured by the Frille (Petershagen) mill farm and the damage was disposed of. A temporary cap should protect the mill body from rain and other weather-related damage. Between 2008 and 2009 the mill was rebuilt. It was then able to reopen in May 2010.

Großenheerse windmill

Großenheerse windmill

The octagonal mill tower, made of bricks and fully plastered, of the Wall-Holländers from 1863 with its corner pilasters that reach under the mill hood is a unique design in the Westphalian Mill Road. The sail wings and the stert have never been modernized. In the 1990s there was a concept to define this mill as a technical training mill for the other mills on the Westphalian Mühlenstrasse, in order to teach the local, mostly volunteer staff, the craft of windmilling. The concept has not been implemented.

In the Müllerhaus there is a café-restaurant with overnight accommodation.

Hartum windmill

Hartum windmill

The Wall-Holländer was built in 1877. With its mighty conical mill tower made of sandstone and the new mill hood with sail blades and compass rose, the windmill regained its characteristic appearance. The earth wall was replaced by a brick ground floor over time.

The building owner of the mill was the municipality of Hartum , it was a contemporary replacement for the no longer operational post mill. The memorial stone in the tower contains a motto as well as the names of the mill builder, the community council and the community councilors.

Heimsen windmill

Heimsen windmill

In 1873 the Wallholländer was built as the successor to a ship mill and a post mill. The mill tower was built from masonry and plastered bricks on a broken stone base.

Windmill Hille "Auf der Höchte"

Windmill Hille

The Erdholländer was built in 1733. The lower third of the bulbous-conical mill tower was built from broken slate stones and above it from field fire stones, making it the second mill next to a dismantled post mill in town. Today it is plastered on the weather side. Until 1951 the mill was operated with wings, then one wing broke off in a storm and the mill was driven by a motor located next to the building. In 1956 a part of the gearbox broke and the mill was completely stopped. After the restoration, the mill has wind-moving “clockwise” sail blades again - a specialty in windmill construction , as almost all blades otherwise turn the other way around - as well as a wind rose system with an additional “pull wheel”.

Windmill Holzhausen at the Porta

In the old cadastral documents from 1837, a windmill is shown at the location of today's mill. It is not clear whether this is today's mill. To this day, the construction date of the Wall Dutchman with his plastered conical quarry stone tower is not known.

Windmill Levern "Kolthoffsche Mühle"

Levern windmill

The gallery Dutch from 1922 stands on a massive rubble floor. Its boarded and shingled wooden "hexagon" is unique in the Minden-Lübbecke district. With the ancient stert and the windy sail blades, it documents old windmill tradition.

Meissen windmill

Meissen windmill

The Wallholländer dates back to 1883 and after the restoration is equipped with sail gate wings and a compass rose. The mill has been driven by a motor since the 1930s, which is why the wind turbine was completely dismantled after a storm damage in 1941 and only added again when it was added to the district's mill program. The technology is no longer available except for an electrically driven stone shotgun, the mill has a steel vane shaft and a roller bearing as a neck bearing, which is otherwise rarely used in monument protection.

In 2018 the mill was renovated. It got new wings and can be equipped with sails for joy or sorrow. The Kipp was equipped with new wooden shingles. In 2020, a new floor was installed in the lower floor, so that you can now get married there.

Windmill Meßlingen

Windmill Meßlingen

The Meßlingen windmill was built around 1843. It is an octagonal gallery Dutchman made of timber framework on a solid brick substructure. The hood is turned into the wind by a double compass rose, which is unique on the Westphalian Mühlenstrasse. A post mill approved by the Prussian government in 1766 stood in the same place. The windmill Meßlingen was one of the first mills in the district that have been saved from demolition and restored. The technical equipment is still being restored, the mill is only partially functional.

Windmill Nordhemmern "Greftmühle"

Nordhemmern windmill

The conical tower of the Wallholländers was built in 1938 from coarse sandstone. As part of the restoration, the mill received windable sail blades again. The old nine-petalled compass rose, the only one in the district, was also restored. The mill stands on a very wind-favorable place. At times there was a boke mill and an oil mill here . In the end it was technically driven as a motor mill , but the technology is incomplete, so the mill cannot be operated.

Windmill "Büsching'sche Mühle" Petershagen

Büsching mill Petershagen

The mill was built in 1810. The Wallholländer is boarded up and shingled. The octagon stands on a stone substructure. The compass rose is functional and constantly turns the hood into the wind. In recent years the mill has been extensively restored, the milling machines are only partially functional. The old locomobile in the cellar, which can drive the vertical shaft from below via a belt, is worth seeing .

Petershagen windmill, Pottmühle

Pottmühle Petershagen

The Pottmühle is the youngest gallery Dutch windmill in the Minden-Lübbecke district. The 18 m high, slightly conical quarry stone tower was built in 1938. A royal mill was built at this location as early as 1745. The name Pottmühle is said to have originated because the tower with the cap on it looks like a coffee pot. The mill was technically well equipped: two grist passages , a grinding passage , a roller mill with a two-speed plansifter and a cleaning system for the grain could be driven by both wind and motor. The mill was cleared and used as a warehouse.

Windmill Rodenbeck "Rodenbecker Mühle"

Rodenbeck windmill

The Rodenbeck mill was built in 1821 as a gallery Dutchman for the former Rodenbeck estate. The swampy subsoil ( Bastauniederung wetland ) required a proper foundation with oak piles. It is characterized by its massive, compact and conical mill tower. The 24-sided gallery reinforces this impression. This makes the largest mill hood in the district appear relatively small. The mill is equipped with sail gate wings and can be turned into the wind with an inland cruiser. This is the design-related combination that enables safe work even in strong winds.

Windmill Seelenfeld, Königsmühle

Königsmühle Seelenfeld

The Königsmühle Seelenfeld is a Dutch windmill with a heaped wall. Its slightly conical tower is built from rubble stones, the cap is shingled. It stands on the highest elevation (74 m above sea level ) of the old Seelenfeld farmers. A stone tablet with the inscription FWR 1731 can be seen above the narrow entrance door of the mill . FWR are the first letters of the words Fridericus Wilhelmus Rex , the King of Prussia who had this mill built in 1731 after the introduction of the mill compulsory in 1721.

Windmill Stemmer

Windmill Stemmer

The Wallholländer from 1860 has a conical brick tower plastered on the weather side. In 1997 he received wind-moving venetian blinds again. The wind rose leaves, painted in the colors of the village white, green and yellow, give the mill an unmistakable appearance. The mill is used as a warehouse and is only partially functional.

Windmill Struckhof, Hüllhorst

Mill Struckhof

The Wall-Holländer was built in 1883. The mill is located in the Schnathorst district and was only included in the mill maintenance program in 1987. With it, the municipality of Hüllhorst was the only municipality or town in the Minden-Lübbecke district to own all types (wind, water, animals / horses) of natural power mills.

Map view of the mill

Südhemmern windmill

South Hemmern Mill

According to an inscription, the Wallholländer is said to have been built in 1880. The strongly conical mill tower made of brick, plastered on the weather side, can be seen from afar. This mill was the first to be renovated as part of the circle mill maintenance program. The mill was able to go back into operation as early as 1980.

Windmill Todtenhausen, Großenheider Königsmühle

Grossenheider Königsmühle in Todtenhausen

The Großenheider Königsmühle in Todtenhausen is a Dutch Wall built around 1731 with a slightly conical quarry stone tower and a small earth wall. In 1972 the mill got wings again. These wings are modeled on the last Venetian blind wings. The wind rose system was replaced by the original Stert in 1985.

Windmill Todtenhausen, Valentine's Mill

Valentine's Mill in Todtenhausen

The Valentinmühle in Todtenhausen is an earth-Dutchman, built around 1858, which, with its conical brick tower plastered on the weather side, has had a mill hood with windable sail gate wings and a compass rose since the restoration in 1991. The mill is functional but is rarely put into operation. During the Christmas season, the mill, illuminated by hundreds of lamps, shines far across the Weser valley.

Windmill barrel heather

Mill Ton Heath

The Galerie-Holländer was built in 1878. Its plastered "stone octagon" on the also octagonal two-story substructure is extremely striking. The windy sail wings and the stert make this windmill, visible from afar, a sought-after photo object.

The mill was built from around 150,000 bricks that were produced in the field fire in Tonheide .

The Ton Heider Mühle has recently been given a further use: there is a registry office on the second floor. Here you can say “I do”, far away from all official offices; this should be an unforgettable experience for many. In the half-timbered building next to the mill you can have a drink , a champagne breakfast or a small buffet.

Veltheim windmill

Veltheim windmill

The windmill in Porta Westfalica- Veltheim was built in 1903 as a replacement for an earth Dutchman built in 1870. The current Wall Dutchman has a plastered conical brick tower. It is known of the mill, built in 1870, that the wings hung so low that the miller's twelve-year-old son was fatally injured while turning; because of a lightning strike this mill had to be demolished.

Wegholm windmill

Wegholm windmill

The Wallholländer with its plastered conical mill tower was built in 1861 as a replacement for a court mill that was in poor condition. In 1899 the original star was replaced by a wind rose system.

Watermills

Watermills are found wherever there is enough gradient for a stream to draw energy from it. This is mostly the case along the Westphalian Mühlenstrasse in the Wiehen and Weser Mountains and the mountainous Ravensberger Land .

The following watermills belong to the Westphalian Mill Road:

Watermill at Osterbach, Siekertal Bad Oeynhausen (38)

The watermill was built in 1722. It was operated on the former Meierhof in Enger-Herringhausen until 1952 and is now part of the Bad Oeynhausen Museum Farm .

The medium-shaft water wheel made of wood with a diameter of 2.4 m was put back into operation in 1985. It is typical of many mills that exist along small streams.

Watermill Bergkirchen "Schönen-Mühle"

Bergkirchen watermill courtyard

The water mill is in the mountain village of Bergkirchen . It is beautiful, but has this name after the name of the owner. It is not certain when the mill was built. It is said that it was built during the Thirty Years War . The mill building is made of broken stone and bricks. An overshot water wheel (3.8 m diameter) drives the mill device. The mill was historically restored at the beginning of the eighties of the 20th century and placed under monument protection. The grinder has a fully functional grinder. It also has a restored oil mill. Mill tours give an insight into the old grinding techniques.

Coffee, cake and sandwiches are served in the mill room on mill days. The premises can also be rented for celebrations.

Map view of the mill

Watermill Döhren, "Plaggen Mill"

Watermill Döhren

The watermill building was probably built in 1751, as can be seen from a stone inscription. The water wheel has a diameter of 3.3 m and a width of 1.4 m.

In the mill registration carried out by the Prussian state in 1721, an Arnold Plagge is listed as the owner of the mill. This name has been used to this day. In May 1984 the miller family and members of the cultural community began to restore the mill.

Eilhausen watermill

Watermill in Lübbecke-Eilhausen

The small single-storey quarry stone building with half-timbered gables could have been built in 1698 according to a carved date. The overshot water wheel has a diameter of 2.6 meters. In the 19th century there were a number of such mills on the northern slopes of the Wiehengebirge.

Watermill Fiestel, "Ellerburger Mühle"

Ellerburg watermill

The Ellerburg mill was first mentioned between 1566 and 1570. It belonged to the Ellerburg estate . However, details were only known much later. After that, in 1779 the mill was equipped with a grist, bag and barley passage. An oil mill supplemented the mill operation. In 1856 the wooden bridge over the Große Aue was replaced by a stone three-arch bridge. After the water rights were sold, the approximately 1900 m² mill pond disappears. The Große Aue was moved to its current bed in 1957 and the road that had previously led over the bridge was moved south.

Watermill Hüllhorst "Husenmühle"

Husenmühle

The Husenmühle in the Nachtigallental was mentioned as early as 1646 . For many years it was owned by the von Schloen family, whose ancestral home was the Husen estate. The mill in the 19th century mill building was in operation until 1962. It has an overshot water wheel with a diameter of 4 meters that is driven by the water of the Lusbach.

After the mill was closed, the building fell into disrepair. The new owner built the building true to the original on the well-preserved foundation walls and also renewed the mill equipment. Today a café-restaurant is operated in the mill building.

Watermill Kleinenbremen, "Hartings Mill"

Watermill Kleinenbremen

The mill was first mentioned in 1809. It takes its name from the owner at the time and was one of six mills in Kleinenbremen at that time . The wooden water wheel has a diameter of 3.8 m. The current mill building was built around 1900.

A small village museum is located in the top floor of the mill building. Among other things, a farmer's kitchen, a shoemaker's workshop and a number of agricultural implements can be viewed here.


Guts watermill Hudenbeck, Holzhausen

Guts watermill Hudenbeck

The Guts watermill is driven by a water wheel (diameter 3.10 m, width 1 m) made of steel with the water of the Great Aue. The two-story half-timbered building was erected in 1888.

A mill was mentioned here for the first time in 1556. The history of this mill is closely linked to the history of the Holzhausen manor. The manor house from 1558 is now the Haus des Gastes in Bad Holzhausen .

The destroyed mill is rebuilt in 1983, the water wheel comes from Siegerland , the mill equipment is provided by a mill near Bünde.

Volmerdingsen watermill

The Volmerdingsen watermill has been included in the ensemble of the Westphalian Mühlenstrasse as the last mill for the time being. It is a watermill with an overshot water wheel on a newly created reservoir.

Combined wind and water mill

Wind and watermill Lahde "Klostermühle" (2)

As a special feature in the Westphalian Mühlenstraße there is the combined wind and water mill Lahde in Lahde . There the necessary energy can be obtained from the wind with the blades of the windmill and from the water with a turbine. There is only one other functioning mill of this type in Germany.

The "Klostermühle" stands at a mill location mentioned in 1292. In 1876 the two-story Galerie-Holländer was built. The brick mill building is plastered on the weather side. The mill building has a large substructure for the water wheel drive.

Ship mills

Ship mill Minden

The replica ship mill was put into operation in 1998 and is supported by two boat hulls. It is driven by an undershot ten-armed paddle wheel with a diameter and width of 5 meters each. In addition to a handful of other functioning ship mills in Europe, it represents a long-gone craft tradition.

Horse mills

Rossmühlen or Göpelmühlen are mills driven by animals, usually they are housed in a large barn.

The following Rossmühlen are located in Westphalian Mühlenstraße:

Rossmühle upper peasantry

The Rossmühle was built in 1797. Because of its size, equipment and the preserved original substance, this mill is a unique technical cultural monument beyond the border of Westphalia. The mill was built on the Meyer zu Kniedorf farm. The other buildings in the courtyard are also evidence of a long courtyard development.

Rahden horse mill

The Rahden Rossmühle is located in the museum courtyard in Rahden-Kleinendorf. The Rossmühle, built around 1860, was originally located intonsheide-Hahnenkamp. The square half-timbered buildings are typical of these mills.

Mills in Lower Saxony on a side route

The Westphalian mill route also includes three mills in the Lower Saxony district of Nienburg on a secondary route that connects the Großenheerse and Wegholm windmills . These are the Harrienstedt watermill and the Mösloh and Hoyersvörde windmills
