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 windmill received the name Wagria in 1995, reflecting the geographical identity of the region where it stands as a heritage monument.
The municipality of Grebin purchased the windmill in 1963 and invested 150,000 Deutsche Mark for its restoration two years later.
In 2024, the windmill's wings required removal for maintenance, leading to the closure of its cafe bistro To'n Windbüdel after nine years of operation.
