Kopperhörner Mühle, Smock mill in Wilhelmshaven, Germany.

The Kopperhörner Mühle stands 19 meters tall with a base diameter of 9 meters and features rotating sails spanning 22 meters across the structure.

Built in 1839 as a grinding and pearling mill, the structure replaced an earlier windmill from 1547 that was destroyed during a storm in 1698.

The Kopperhörner Mühle represents traditional milling techniques and serves as an educational center where visitors learn about historical grain processing methods.

Located one kilometer east of Wilhelmshaven City Hall, the mill offers guided tours by volunteer millers who demonstrate the mechanical operations when wind conditions permit.

In 1908, the mill received a suction gas engine as a secondary drive system to reduce its dependence on wind power for operation.
