history
The flour mill with sawmill was built by the mill builder Menno Bernhard Toeldste Dirks from Emden for Jan Gerads Eiklenborg. Construction began in December 1894 and the mill was put into operation in 1895. At first, the thatched gallery Dutch was operated with codend and sail gate wings . The son of the builder, Johann Gerhard Eiklenborg, took over the business in 1933 and switched the drive of the horizontal frame saw and the grain mill from wind power to electric motors in 1935/36 , although operation with wind power was still possible. In 1937 the Mühlensteert was also replaced by a compass rose and the sail blades by louvre flap blades. Shortly before the end of the Second World War, the wind rose buck was set on fire but quickly repaired and the thatch of the mill cap was replaced by roofing felt in 1948. Jan Gerhard Eiklenborg from the third generation took over the mill in 1968 and operated it as a Peldemühle and sawmill until 1975 . In 1995, the Logabirum Mill Association was founded from 1995 to maintain the mill. The mill received a new gallery and in 1996 the mill cap, and later the octagon, was covered with thatch again. The mill, which is still fully functional today, has a wind-powered shot gallery and another with a motor drive. There is also a roller mill , a hammer mill and the sawmill. The mill is still owned by the family today.
