Bockwindmühle, Post mill in Burgdorf, Germany.

The Bockwindmühle stands prominently on a hill named Mühlenberg, featuring a wooden structure that rotates entirely on a central post to catch the wind.

The mill represents a traditional design that emerged in Europe during the 12th century and became common across Central Germany and neighboring regions.

The mill demonstrates the agricultural heritage of the region, reflecting centuries of grain processing technology that supported local communities.

Visitors can explore the internal mechanisms of the mill, including the millstones and technical equipment that showcase the traditional grain grinding process.

The structure incorporates specialized Hechtian spring-mounted blades, installed in 2005, which enhance the mill's operational capabilities during varying wind conditions.
