Bergmühle, Smock mill in Flensburg, Germany
Description
Bergmühle is a smock mill with four sails and a brick foundation, standing on the Krummberg where it can be seen from the city. The building shows typical features of this type with its movable sails and solid structure underneath.
History
Three entrepreneurs received permission to build the mill in 1792 and initially produced pearl barley for the market. Later it was converted to grain milling and remained an important production center for the city for centuries.
Culture
The name refers to its location on the Krummberg hill, where the structure shapes the city's view and draws people from nearby and afar. The mill tells the story of when such windmills defined daily life and many people depended on their work.
Practical
The site is easy to reach from the hill and offers good views of the surroundings. A visit works best when you find out ahead of time about any special events or activities.
Did you know?
The structure can run on both wind power and electric motor, showing two eras of mill history in one building. This dual system allows the old technology to be demonstrated without giving up modern reliability.
