Windmühle Hittfeld, Smock mill in Hittfeld, Germany.

The mill features a central post with a rotating cap mechanism, enabling the sails to harness wind power for grain processing operations.

Built in 1875, the mill experienced severe storm damage in 1954, leading to a complete restoration project completed in 1957.

This windmill represents traditional agricultural methods and stands as part of the Niedersachsen Mühlenstraße, a regional mill discovery route.

The Förderverein Hittfelder Windmühle association maintains the mill and coordinates visits for people interested in historical milling techniques.

The Voss family has owned and maintained this fully functional mill since 1899, preserving its original mechanical components through generations.
