Bergedorf Windmill

The Bergedorf Windmill features an adjustable cap mechanism that rotates to catch wind from different directions for efficient grain processing.

Constructed in 1831, this smock mill played a central role in local grain production during the agricultural period of Hamburg's development.

The windmill remains a symbol of traditional milling practices and agricultural methods that sustained communities in northern Germany for generations.

Visitors can access guided tours of the windmill, learning about historical milling techniques and examining the internal mechanical systems.

The structure maintains its original wooden mechanisms and grinding stones, demonstrating the engineering principles of pre-industrial grain processing.
