Bockwindmühle auf der Insel in Stade

  • Mill

The post mill, which originally came from Rethmar (now the town of Sehnde, in the Hanover region), is part of the open-air museum on the island and was erected there in June 1967. It can be viewed from the outside.

Old views of Stade show that several post mills were scattered along the outskirts of the city. They were gradually replaced by Dutch-style windmills. Thanks to the “house beam”—a characteristic feature of post mills that forms the support and the axis of rotation for the rectangular mill house—the entire structure can be turned “into the wind” either by hand or using a simple mechanical mechanism. The millstone is located in the upper part of the mill.
