Marzahner Bockwindmühle, Post mill in Marzahn, Germany.
Description
The Marzahner Bockwindmühle is a windmill in Berlin-Marzahn built following traditional German patterns and standing on a small hill. The structure features large sails and wooden mechanical parts that power the grain milling process.
History
The mill was built in the 1990s as a decision to preserve this traditional miller's craft for future generations. Its construction follows the design of windmills from earlier centuries and demonstrates how these machines once functioned.
Culture
The mill shows how people once ground grain into flour and what skills this profession demanded. Visitors can observe how the work happened and understand why such buildings mattered to communities.
Practical
The mill opens on certain days during the warmer months for visitors to see the building and its mechanics from inside. It is helpful to check opening days in advance and wear sturdy shoes, as the hill can become slippery when wet.
