Fehmarn Windmühle Lemkenhafen

The Fehmarn Windmill contains three grinding stones that process grains, featuring four large sails visible across the surrounding coastal landscape.

Built in 1787 by grain merchant Joachim Rahlff, the windmill operated until 1954 before the state of Schleswig-Holstein acquired it for preservation in 1958.

The agricultural museum section displays traditional farming tools, household items, and detailed models of regional Fehmarn farmhouses in two connected storage rooms.

The museum opens from mid-May through October, offering guided tours, wheelchair accessibility, and reduced entrance fees for students and groups of ten or more.

Local millers generated substantial income by processing barley and wheat into premium-grade gruel and noodles for export to Nordic countries.
