Mill

The Holzholländermühle in Altenberge

The historic Holzhammermühle in Altenberge is closely linked to the history of the town and is still one of its landmarks today.

Built in 1770 by farmer Schulze Dahl, the Hanseatic windmill, a historic trestle windmill, was converted into an "Achtkantholländer" in 1854, surrounded by an earth wall. The basement made of local quarry stone and the combination of wind and water power from 1857 onwards enabled efficient operation. Despite technical modernisation up to 1958 and a change of location in the 1870s, the mill remained an important monument. Today it is a well-known photo motif and a testimony to regional history.

Viewing
