Peldemühle, Historic windmill in Wittmund, Germany.

Peldemühle is a gallery windmill in Wittmund with multiple floors originally used for grinding grain and producing flour. The building shows how these mills were constructed with wheels, shafts, and other mechanical parts that captured wind power.

The building was created in 1741 with permission from Prince Carl Edzard of East Frisia and initially processed barley groats. Over the centuries, the mill remained in operation while keeping its original construction.

The mill shows how important grain was to farming in this region and how people made their daily bread. Visitors can see how grain was ground and what role this work played in local life.

The mill is free to visit for individual guests during opening hours, though organized groups should arrange visits in advance. Visitors wanting to see all rooms and machinery should check beforehand, as some areas might have limited access.

The mill's old grinding stone is set into the paving of the courtyard, a remnant of the Peldegang removed in 1935 when farmers began grinding their own feed. In 1954 the mill cap and one sail stock were replaced with parts taken largely from the dismantled mill at Stapelmoor. Volunteers have been trained as millers since 2010 to keep it running.
