Grebiner Windmühle, Historical windmill in Grebin, Germany
This four-story windmill features an octagonal stone base covered with wooden planks and a copper-topped reed-thatched roof construction.
Carl Friedrich Trahn from Neustadt constructed this third windmill on the site in 1851, which operated until 1947 when electric power replaced wind power.
The name Wagria, chosen by the municipality in 1997, refers to the Wagrien region of eastern Schleswig-Holstein. Signs below the sails read "Wagria" and "Anno 1851". In summer a café operates inside the mill, and the interior can be visited during its opening.
The municipality of Grebin purchased the windmill in 1963 and invested 150,000 Deutsche Mark for its restoration two years later.
The signs below the sails read "Wagria" and "Anno 1851"; the name Wagria, after the region of Wagrien, was only decided by the Grebin council in 1997. The mill stands on the 54 m Mühlenberg and is Grebin's landmark.
