Geismühle

The Geismühle windmill rises above the Krefeld landscape with its tower structure and rotating blades, representing traditional German milling architecture.

Built in 1575, this Turmholländer windmill has undergone multiple structural modifications while maintaining its primary function as a grain processing facility.

The windmill stands as a testament to North Rhine-Westphalia's agricultural traditions, where local farmers gathered to process their grain harvests.

Visitors can reach the windmill through designated walking paths and cycling routes, with informational tours available during regular opening hours.

The internal mechanisms of the Geismühle demonstrate the engineering principles of 16th-century grain processing, with original grinding stones still present.
