Windmills in Berlin, Historical windmills in Prenzlauer Berg, Berlin, Germany
Windmills in Berlin are historical buildings from different periods that shape the character of various neighborhoods. They display different construction styles, from Dutch designs to modern variants, and today some serve as museums or workshops.
Berlin's peak as a milling center came in the 19th century, when dozens of these structures served grain processing. Industrialization caused most to disappear, yet a few remained and still remind visitors of that craft-based past.
These windmills tell the story of Berlin's past as a milling and craft center. Today visitors and locals use the preserved buildings to understand how people once processed grain and organized their daily work.
Visitors can explore the still-active mills across different city districts, with some offering regular opening hours and bread or flour sales. It is worth checking online beforehand to learn which mills are currently operating and how to reach them.
Some of the preserved mills still function and produce flour using traditional methods. These rare places show visitors how the grinding mechanism actually works and what power the wind once provided for production.
