Dunau windmill

The wooden structure features a rotating cap mechanism that allows the blades to adjust their position according to wind direction for optimal grinding efficiency.

Built in 1852, the mill stands as a testament to 19th-century agricultural engineering, demonstrating the advanced milling techniques of Lower Saxony's industrial period.

The mill represents a period when communities gathered around these structures, which served as centers for grain processing and local food production.

Located at coordinates 52.354602, 9.548216, the heritage site can be reached via local roads connecting to the town of Seelze.

The mill incorporates a special weatherboarded tower design that differs from typical German windmills, marking it as a notable example of regional architecture.
