Elfrather Mühle, Tower windmill in Krefeld-Traar, Germany.
The white-washed tower windmill stands next to a single-story residence and additional farm buildings within the grounds of a golf club complex.
Built in 1823 by miller Benjamin Schmitz from Vennikel, the windmill operated until the 1930s before falling into disuse and suffering severe damage during World War II.
The windmill takes its name from the Elfrathshof estate, which later influenced the naming of the entire Elfrath district in Krefeld.
The structure now functions as a clubhouse for the surrounding golf club, featuring restored sails that were replaced in 1969 and again in 1982.
While maintained in operational condition, this former grain mill stands as one of two historical windmills in the Traar district, alongside the Egelsberg mill.
