Windmühle Bardowick, A windmill in the district of Lüneburg, Lower Saxony

Windmühle Bardowick, also known as Meyer’s Windmühle, is a one-storey gallery Dutch windmill standing about 18 metres high to the ridge. Its Ten-Have sails span roughly 23.5 metres in diameter, and the tower and cap are covered in reed thatch. Inside are two grinding gears, and the mill is part of the Lower Saxony Mill Route.

Johann Friedrich Meyer built the mill on the western edge of Bardowick in 1813, overcoming Lüneburg's centuries-long resistance to a windmill there; he received the operating concession in 1814. A steam engine followed in 1862, a suction gas engine in 1915, and electric drive in 1952. A 1994 conversion restored wind operation.

The mill bears the name of its builder Meyer and shapes Bardowick's character as a symbol of traditional craftsmanship. Visitors can enjoy coffee and homemade cakes in the attached café, made from flour ground at the mill, experiencing the connection between historical craft and daily life.

The mill is easily accessible on foot and located near Bardowick's town center. Visitors can explore the grounds when the blades are still or turning in the wind, and read information signs that explain how it operates.

The mill continues to blend traditional wind milling with modern technologies today, making it one of the few active grain mills still operating in Germany. The café was built from recycled parts of old farm buildings from the 19th century, creating a direct link between historical materials and present-day use.
