Bockwindmühle Elsterwerda, Post mill in Elsterwerda, Germany.

The Bockwindmühle stands 12 meters tall with a width of 5 meters and depth of 6 meters, weighing 30 tons near the Schwarzen Elster River.

Built in 1804 in Gruhno near Rückersdorf, this mill changed locations four times before reaching its current position in Elsterwerda during 2002.

The interior contains an exhibition of traditional milling equipment, vessels, and tools that demonstrate the daily operations of historical grain processing.

Visitors can access the mill at Furtbrückwiese 1 in Elsterwerda, where it functions as a stop along the Kohle-Wind & Wasser-Tour route.

The mill's third relocation in 1866 occurred because Wilhelmine, a miller's wife, felt homesick and requested its move to Elsterwerda.
